That is dumb as hell. It's not "unethical", other applicants can do the same and if they don't, they will actually have better chances because they will stand out from the crowd using AI to write it.

We all copy from others, ask help from friends and family or from professionals, we need to stop pretending that we don't and that we are "original". I wrote my first cover letter 15 years ago by googling an example on the internet and changing it a little because I had no idea what to put in it and I have never seen one before.

Same crap with the artist and AI generated art drama. Every single artist in the face of the planet learned by coping what countless others do and did, exactly the same as AI.

Things are worth as much as consumers are willing to pay for them. If Costco rises the price of organic milk by 20% and consumers still buy it in sufficient quantity, they will keep rising the price until they find the max price that consumers are willing to pay for the product. In other words, don't fucking buy overpriced shit from greedy companies.

Well, can mr. envious points us to any previous AI that we can use that does the same as ChatGPT? I tested all the coding ones, for example Github Co-pilot. ChatGPT blows them out of the water.

And it's not just the quality of the responses, equally important it's ease to use. Things like Co-pilot made me jump a lot of hoops and the client was limited dog-sh*t.

You are making no sense. If the AI art is indistinguishable from human art then you are just asking to be scammed by "being willing to drop a few thousand dollars for an actual human artist's labor". The human "artist" is going to take your money and use AI to generate the fake the art in seconds and laugh his ass off at you.

Agree, it's a very long shot and you'll need to target specific segments, like gamers to get the power of their GPU's to make it worth while. But I would gladly permanently give them 1 or 2 GBs of memory my 32, 100 GB of disk space (your average AAA game space) and let them use my overpowered GPU while I'm not gaming if they let me access ChatGPT as an assistant on my desktop with a simple combination of keys and to play with Dall-E in similar manner with no limits and no queues.

Assuming they make that money, but it doesn't say how. For example, if they get a chunk of The Office sales or Bing's revenue to do so. Sure as hell is not going to be selling 42 dollars pro licenses, specially when you can use the tech in Bing and Office.

What is 100% sure is that Microsoft gets all the benefits of OpenAI for those products for a long time, even forever if they don't find a good revenue model outside Microsoft.

May be, but what he did for sure is put a ceiling on the company's potential and give it to Microsoft.

There was a chance that OpenAI could have replaced Google and be the next tech Titan. That is the reason why google executives are in emergency mode.

Now, their best scenario is to give than win to Microsoft.

They could have tried to solve the compute problem by creating a client that used the power of the consumer's device in exchange for free usage, de-facto creating their own cloud and billing businesses at the same time. It was a long shot, but one that had a lot more freedom and a lot more upside. They chose to go safe at the expense of capping their future.

The genie is out of the bottle. They can't put it back in. There is going to be a flood of biblical proportions of AI generated content and there's nothing that nobody can do about it.

If they try to fight it, it's going to be even more pathetic than the music industry trying to fight the digital downloading of music.

A large majority of the Iranian society wanted to remove the Shah, but the educated middle classes from the urban centers wanted democracy while the lower classes, specially from the small villages outside the big cities, wanted Khomeini. For a time both camps competed for power, but the religious faction was far more brutal and ended crushing the other side.

> Marjanes parents say they didn't vote for the Islamic republic

She was from a very educated family from the middle class, so its very logical that she or anybody around her didn't voted for the Islamic republic. They were in the opposing camp.

If you want to know more, take a look at this documentary that explains the fighting for power that took place between the two factions of Iranian society that joined to overthrow the Shah.
