to use these data to make ai to make profit, people who tag the data can get money but people who create these data didn’t get anything and their creation is used to replace them

All profit from crawling the entire web and offering a service.

OpenAI’s models are no different, generating profit off publicly available internet data to build a large language model (LLM).

That’s not true.

OpenAI has a different business model. In the current OpenAI business model, developers who use the OpenAI API to create apps are the ones who make money.

ChatGPT (the website) is just a research beta released mostly as a marketing tool.

You don’t need to sign up for premium services if you don’t want. I basically use the API and rarely use the ChatGPT web site.

Does stackoverflow pay all the folks who answer questions there and generate content for them?

Take it easy :+1:
