Not so wild. We're all just speculating, and what you said is certainly reasonable. However, I thought GitHub was also open source. I realize there are at least two major open source licenses with different restrictions on them, so there's a legal point here that I certainly don't know. I don't even know whether that impacts the situation or not.

I'm also not so sure how revolutionary ChatGPT is. I keep hearing it's largely a language prediction engine. It isn't capable of true value judgements, nor is it capable of distinguishing fact from fiction. It takes a very large pool of information and uses it to predict where to go next. It does that so very well that there's much to be gained from it, to be sure, but a font of wisdom it is not. It states things confidently, but not always correctly.

There are people who make decisions based on horoscopes published in the paper, so there will be people who take ChatGPT as gospel, as well, but it shouldn't be so. I'd say this is version 1.0. It hints at the revolution to come, but is not yet that revolution.
