Even the paid tier (and I am a customer) is part of their data mining. There is no privacy in the data. I can’t see anyone using the public service for anything confidential or proprietary.

From what I have read it costs OpenAI about $1 a month per user.

In December, they predicted $200 million in revenue for 2023, and $1 billion revenue for 2024.

Yep and that wealth will go to a very small number of people meanwhile it puts thousands of middle class workers out work. Dark times ahead. The old horseless buggy argument does not apply here. The scope, breadth and pace of change this technology is capable of is beyond anything the world has ever seen. We are not capable of predicting what changes it will bring.

As usual the liberal hipster nerds think it’s cool because they don’t see past the stop sign. If AI stayed in the medical field then yes it will make a great contribution, but anything else it’s just gonna strip away jobs and careers from the middle class.

Saw some guy that was responsible for developing ChatGPT and he was saying that it can be dangerous and he himself has some concerns. Hopefully people smarter than I can figure out how to harness this and keep some kinds of checks and balances in place as this technology further develops.
It can also save people from harm, or even potentially their lives. I think it diagnosed a dog that was very sick, after analyzing the blood work. It got the diagnosis correct. A lot of potential for doing good things.

What I want to know is when I'm presented with AI of any type. We need to have it ID itself. A news network could use an AI virtual person and if so, they need to show on the screen you are viewing an AI newscaster.

It could also happen that someone will fund an AI virtual person to run for office. It will be smarter then any other candidate. All it has to do is win a primary. And that may be easier then we think.

Just as the people trying to tell us that a man can become a woman just by wishing it so, are trying (with some success) to find willing dupes of their own.
So it is just a bot with a lot of program lines.

To create the music, the system is trained on a 280,000-hour dataset of unlabeled music that teaches MusicLM to generate long and coherent music at 25 kHz, according to the paper.

This isn't Google's, or the industry's, first attempt at an AI song system. OpenAI, the AI research company behind ChatGPT and DALL-E, has its own version, JukeBox, which has yet to be released to the public. Riffusion, a neural network that produces music using images of sound, is already available to the public now.
But is that what AI is? Most people think of AI like "Ultron". This seems to be using a program to fill in words that match the beat and rhythm.

Here's an article written by a techie who has been playing with AI of this sort for years but now he's a little disturbed by how quickly they're reaching human performance. There's still an overall optimistic tone to it but you can sense a bit of unease:

This graph pretty much sums up his concerns:
