> The only moat openai has is their financial resources to pay for training and their vast troves of data scraped before reddit/twitter/etc started trying to lock things down.
Do we know that there's zero benefit from the user generated data they're getting now? They know when someone clicks the button to regenerate, and in theory they can have GPT4 review all the responses and classify if they're good or not. I don't know how beneficial that data is, so I'm curious if it's been proven to be completely worthless or not. If it's valuable at all, and openai is using it to continually improve the performance of ChatGPT, then maybe it will be difficult for a competitor to ever get traffic and data to their alternative.
