Maybe until we all have a local LLM's and custom models with full control, this level of abstraction(prompting) is not useful.
I refuse to contribute to the"Open"AI scheme. Let marketing and teens to give them data.:)
I agree with your point about self hosting as long term strategy. However at current stage, it’s still a balance between capability and control. Greater control means you lag behind on bleeding edge features (gap seems to be constantly narrowing here though for LLMs thanks to tons of OSS efforts).
Literally states it won’t use your data. Ofc there’s non trivial risk that this policy will change over time. Still, I don’t feel like there’s any huge lock-in risk with OpenAI right now, so advantage of using it outweighs the risk for most.
