And that is exactly how the Internet started among corporations.
I remember when the Internet was free for a brief time. I am not talking about a trial membership either. I mean to say you dialed up a local access number without any username or password, and you were simply online with access to the early Internet.
They gave away the Internet like a drug. They wanted to see if people would use it, and they wanted people hooked. AI is starting much in the same way. And you are right. We are at that phase where they are throwing whatever they can up against the wall and seeing what sticks.
But there is one thing I know. AI is here, and it isn't going away. Unfortunately, bad faith actors will use AI to flood social media, forums, and other communications, and it will take AI to fight it.
I would hope an open-source AI could focus on optimization. Corporations are throwing money at AI, and optimization is on the back burner. And it would be wise to pull together.
