In this era when artificial intelligence is booming like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, we thought we could freely navigate among numerous language models and take what we need. However, reality hit me hard - none of the models except the GPT - 4 is available.
It feels like walking into a supermarket full of a wide variety of goods, only to be told that only one particular product can be purchased. This restriction brings deep helplessness and a bit of anger.
From the perspective of user experience, it’s like being forcibly stuffed into a narrow box. Perhaps for certain specific tasks, GPT - 4 does perform excellently, but that doesn’t mean it can meet all of our needs. Other models may have unique advantages in specific fields. For example, some models can provide more imaginative ideas for creative writing, and some can give more concise and understandable explanations when answering certain professional technical questions. However, when we are deprived of the right to use these models, it’s like losing many potentially helpful assistants.
From a broader perspective, this restriction also reflects a tendency towards technological monopoly. In the field of artificial intelligence, diversity and selectivity should be its charm. When we are forced to rely on only one model, it not only inhibits our possibilities of exploring different ideas and methods but may also hinder the innovation and development of the entire industry to some extent. We hope to be able to weigh the pros and cons among various models and make the optimal choice according to the actual situation, instead of being forced to use a certain model.
It is hoped that the relevant technology providers can re - examine this restriction and provide users with a broader space for choice, allowing us to truly and fully utilize the convenience brought by artificial intelligence, instead of struggling in this artificially - created narrow environment.
