I would be interested in helping. (Currently in AI research but not focussed on LLMs).

I don’t like the idea that the user feedback OpenAI is accumulating from ChatGPT is contributing to deepening their moat (I highly doubt they will release all that data publicly).

For a company founded on principles of openness to be working directly against the democratisation of AI, some serious criticism is warranted I think.

I could perhaps understand if there was a need for profitability to ensure the cost of their research, but the models they are commercialising are by and large models based on the research of other labs which are far more open with releasing their work. Their closed approach will simply incentivise and push other research labs to make their research more closed also, further increasing the likelihood of AI being concentrated in the hands of very few.
