Is that such a problem. Like any tool, it may be improved by feedback from its users. If it is a useful tool and you choose to use it, then why not contribute to its costs.

Elon Musk left the founding group because he did not agree with the way that OpenAI was becoming more closed after Microsofts involvement.

Open does not mean free

I think it is more important to have the technology open and transparent , therefore accessible , than free and stifled by lack of investment. I hope that the technology stays Open, and we are charged only for the new tools that companies create using the technology.
