It's Getting Weird

I don't know when it really started, but I think it's been around for long enough that we can conclude it's getting weird.<br><br>Slowly, this whole "AI that isn't GPT-4" trend is catching on. Those other models don't even need to be that good- they just need to be cheaper, right? Or maybe they need to be better and cheaper?<br><br>Either way, the normals are catching wind of this idea that a single company doesn't own all of AI. It's even cooler to be contrarian and support the challengers. So much so that Microsoft seems to be getting a bad rap. "Oh, you're still using Bing AI? That's cute."<br><br>I was told OpenAI would expand the moat, or at least that was the PR from a few months ago. It seems like that's not happening. As the "slow" models become "fast" they'll spread like wildfire.<br><br>"Slow" is code for 'there's no sugar water to make em go fast'. We need new words.<br><br>What do you think? Is this a trend that will die down, or do you think that other AI models will eventually be widely adopted?
