And ChatGPT has a super low barrier to entry while open source alternatives have a high one.
Creating a service that can compete with it on that regard implies you can scale GPU farms in a cost effective way.
It's not as easy as it sounds.
Meanwhile, openai still improves their product very fast, and unlike google, it's their only one. It's their baby. It has their entire focus.
Since for most consumers, AI == ChatGPT, they have the best market share right now, which mean the most user feedback to improve their product. Which they do at a fast pace.
They also understand that to get mass adoption, they need to censor the AI, like MacDonald and Disney craft their family friendly image. Which irritate every geeks, including me, but make commercially sense.
Plus, despite the fact you can torrent music and watch it with VLC, and that Amazon+Disney are competitors, netflix exists. Having a quality service has value in itself.
I would not count open ai as dead as a lot of people seem to desperately want it to be. Just because Google missed the AI train doesn't mean wishful thinking the market to be killed by FOSS is going to make it so.
As usual with those things it's impossible to know in advance what's going to happen, but odds are not disfavoring chatgpt as much as this article says.
