Certainly, and that is the more pessimistic view that I have, that this is being developed with a view to introduce product sponsorships and advertisements.

I mainly am curious if anyone has the view that there is broader benefit to the development of this, after all, wasn't that the entire mission statement of OpenAI?

Quoting from their announcement on their site:

> OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research company. Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return.

This feels like something constrained by the need to generate a financial return, and not something primarily focused on understanding physics and world models, to be blunt.

Aren't they trying to go for-profit and escape that albatross around their neck of "must feasibly be doing social good?"
