ChatGPT clone for regular users

This is not a new one... I say that up front. But is a great idea that has been discussed many times in this sub. <br><br>Basic idea: A AI Chat Clone like ChatGPT, but aimed at regular users.<br><br>Example: <br><br>User 1 (Mom with kids) talks to the chat - "What movies will we enjoy" and then - "How do I keep my kids occupied at home without screens and movies". Then - "How do I keep them off their phones?" .Then - "Why should I want to?" and so on. <br><br>User 2 (180 IQ scientist) talks to the chat - "How will the research direction of carpentry evolve in the next 50 years?", "How do I make a new theory of quantum mechanics where..." , "I am trying to explain xyz to xyz people, can you give me a simple way to put it?", "what would be the best way to create such a device/algorithm?".<br><br>Another is "What are the best approaches for marketing my electric lawnmower company?" from a regular business owner type of user.<br><br>And so on. <br><br>Thank you OpenAI for showing everyone how ChatGPT could be used by everyone. However I don't like any of their conceptions of what "A ChatGPT for everyone" means. Their pricing, data privacy, and monetization approaches are not great. And unfortunately the clones are not better. Most of them are built by companies that can't even make a decent website. The ones that are made by good companies that understand the mass user base are the ones that have the most restrictive features. Most ChatGPT clones these days are just made to be a toy, not something you can use on a daily basis for all kinds of tasks and questions. Which is what they were made to do originally. <br><br>I don't think OpenAI has any chance of ever becoming a "Google for everyone" type company. Their model last too long to be used as an "assistant" or "search" that is needed by a large majority of the population. The only way in which they can be is if they sell a form of "answers" which is not the model itself, but rather answers which are pre-calculated and cached to be resold. Which leads to an amount of privacy issues.<br><br>Personally I think that the best way forward is to have a large number of small companies and one person operations which would be "as small as possible" to make it work. Maybe in 10 years the technology will improve enough to allow a single operation to just have a small amount of servers and make it work.<br><br>But until then we need many different companies to exist and fight for the same market, as they would be too small to just "give up" and do something else. The "dreaded" take is in fact the only one that I think makes sense and can be made to work.
