This model would not exist without the work done by OpenAI though, given that the Chinese company secretly used ChatGPT to train it.

Every AI model has been incestuously training off every other AI model for years. OpenAI has done it just as much as everyone else. They're just throwing a tantrum about it now because they're butthurt that a Chinese company beat them on the cheap, and they're trying to save face.

It would still have happened at some point, chatgpt is not the only AI. I hate we called it AI.
