What a way to indoctrinate the mass public by proclaiming that AI is ‘for all’.

Hey, if AI is for all, here‘s a suggestion: stop putting AI models up behind a paywall or subscription.

Read that again, giving ChatGPT 'unlimited access to free users'.

Gonna go ahead and guess that they will still have at least one model behind some sort of paywall/subscription?

The thing about these companies is, whenever they bring out a ‘new, innovative’ AI, they tend to just pawn off the old models for free, knowing full well that it’s shit in comparison. In other words: they charge you for the ‘good’ stuff whilst taking a shit on you. And somehow, they’ve framed it as an amazing thing… and people eat it up like cereal.

This is mostly because they train the models on your chats, so they want to get as much chat history as they can.

Sickening methodology. They should be ashamed.

According to you, all AI is shit, so why does it matter?

Like, to eat?

This is for their IPO.

Gotta hype and pump.

...And FYI, the spectacular drop after the IPO will be coming out of y'all's retirement accounts.

That can't be good for their already worrisome finances

Don’t bother me. AI is shit. It’s not even intelligent. It’s not even true AI. It’s a waste. Let it die.

They can't even afford their current paying user base... Aren't they months from insolvency at their burn rate?

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Really have to be desperate for Puerto use their slop if they are doing it.

I think this might be my favourite comment today so far 🤣

[–] unpossum@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That’s sort of what they did? Luna seems to be mostly on par with gpt-5.4, which was SOTA half a year ago

[–] TheAntiAiLeader@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

With one model, yes, but why not all models if they’re serious?

[–] itsjustachairmary@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They're not serious, but also, this doesn't seem like a viable economic structure. More like they're trying to pump user numbers while losing even more annually than they already are in some last-ditch push to get the last out of their investors.

I sure hope it is dying like that.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 1 points 1 week ago

We've had one model, but what about second model?

[–] SouthFresh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Altman is full of shit Everything he says is a lie.

[–] kiwifoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

DeepSeek just released a model that is much cheaper to run and performs just as well as most GPT and Claude models. This is their reaction to try limit the damage from DeepSeek.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Trying so hard to get people dependent on their AI so they will pay for it later.
