There are lots of reasons not to use ChatGPT (or any AI) but it’s silly to think the consumer subscribers cancelling their subscriptions will make a dent. The real money is in the enterprise contracts. They only have a paywall to set limits on the overhead.
We can’t vote with anything but our wallets here, so this is a thing we can do to set least reduce their income. And considering they’re losing close to $100 million every day already, I can’t help but suspect nickel and diming them a bit still hurts.
It’s the kind of shit that can work long run. It worked against some AAA studios. I remember people saying that would never make a difference, but the sales numbers paint another story.
Voting with our wallets is unfortunately not a great strategy, as most of these companies have realized that they don’t need to bother selling us things anymore. But it can be one of a toolbox… because it works sometimes. We do have other options, including shouting criticism from the rooftops, demonizing the CEOs behind this, and perhaps even voting at ballots.
There are people here and other places on the internet who can make a difference in enterprise contracts as well. I am part of an AI pilot program to roll out ChatGPT at my company right now. You can be sure that I am actively pointing out that, among other things, OpenAI is being sued by several entities for stealing data when their primary promise to us is “we won’t use your data”. That feedback matters and some of us learn about that stuff from places like this.
Meanwhile those of us who never used it in the first place: 🗿

It just takes time to gain momentum.

What did basic chemistry stop working?

CH3NO2 -> CH3…NO2 -> [CH3ONO]* -> CH3O + NO … and eventually N2 +H2O + CO2

Yeah, Krashmo has a point… You never know who is lurking on Lemmy
Meanwhile my centrist governor is proud to be the first state to adopt it. I love living in a fucking deep blue state captured by oligarchs.
