“Only the rich will benefit from AI”. Average ppl were using GPT-3 before ChatGPT. It’s inexpensive and they even gave $18 in free credit. Not everything has to fit this dystopian anti capitalist narrative you’re creating

Also this is very early days still. Computers also started off expensive, so did phones, gaming consoles, and TVs. But now we have a huge market with many affordable options.

There's good indications that one can trade-off training time and corpus size against model size, making the post-training per-execution cost smaller.

Note that ChatGPT is already useful to very many people; but training a new version takes time, and I'm guessing that OpenAI is currently still in the iterative development phase, and each iteration needs to be short as it's still very early in the AI game.
