alt Hacker NewsYeah I don’t think the models are meaningfully differentiated outside of very specific edge cases. I suspect this was the thinking behind OpenAI and Facebook and all trying to lean hard into presenting their chatbots as friends and romantic partners. If they can’t maintain a technical moat they can try to cultivate an emotional one.
Saw a comment here yesterday referencing the Attention Is All You Need paper title in a tongue in cheek way. Kinda fun to imagine the friend/romance angle is just a bunch of socially awkward folk at OpenAI misinterpreting the original paper
