By releasing public demos that, as impressive & useful as they may be, have major flaws, established companies have less to gain & more to lose than cash-hungry startups.
If Google & Meta haven't released chatGPT-like things, it's not because they can't. It's because they won't.
To be clear: I'm not criticizing OpenAI's work nor their claims.
I'm trying to correct a *perception* by the public & the media who see chatGPT as this incredibly new, innovative, & unique technological breakthrough that is far ahead of everyone else.
It's just not.
1/Large language models like Galactica and ChatGPT can spout nonsense in a confident, authoritative tone. This overconfidence - which reflects the data they’re trained on - makes them more likely to mislead.
Delighted to announce the public open source release of #StableDiffusion!

Proud of everyone involved in releasing this tech that is the first of a series of models to activate the creative potential of humanity
imo #stablediffusion release today is a day of historic proportion for human creativity, with so much human visual creativity bottled up into one accessible artifact. Big part of a phase shift into an era of human+AI art collab that we’ve just barely scratched the surface of.
