    Who actually wants this?

    I guess we’re about to find out if this helps put out the massive pile of burning cash that OpenAI is trying to deal with, but I know nobody that wants this.

    OpenAI claims we’re near AGI and this is the best strategy they have? Oy vey!

      HN lives in a bubble. I am certain many people will happily use these.

          Some people have more diverse backgrounds than others, both in total or relative to a particular subject.

          A lot of people are making factual universal claims about ads in this thread that are directly contradicted by my personal experience talking to people.
