Raw LLM Responses

I think that your argument regarding other companies is short sighted. The reason the public eye matters is because it limits cost. OpenAI is funded by Microsoft, and they certainly care about the public eye. OpenAI doesn’t make the decisions, the people funding them make the decisions. As soon as a company that isn’t directly funded by a giant corporation pops up, your argument is invalid. A few years ago, it would have been impossible to survive on customer base alone, but now that OpenAI has been so popular, I don’t think it’s crazy to think it could happen. Yes, the costs are high but as technology progresses those come down at the same time more people get exposed (AKA take interest). Why would I spend my hard earned money fighting with the ethics of Microsoft when I could spend a bit more somewhere that is free. AFAIK, not having any limits wouldn’t be an issue with law, it really comes down to money.
