I used to love to make silly websites or apps with new technologies. Been doing it since flash. I have a pretty decent hit rate! It’s not unusually to get half a million or so people try one of them.

But with AI that model is just totally broken because the running cost is so high.

If I have half a million people come play my silly AI game that I have no wish to monetise - I am gonna be POOR very fast.

Log in with [insert ai vendor here] is something I’ve been hoping would happen for a while.

This is seriously lacking but I think things like jailbreaks and malicious prompts make it a bit too brittle for now

The thing is though, it doesn’t need to have access to your personal info in the context, so it cant leak anything. And they are obviously used to people talking all sorts of jailbreak shit to their chatbot - so it isn’t really much worse than that.

Also I reckon the cost of running a text chatbot is basically peanuts now (that is, for a giant tech company with piles of hard cash to burn to keep the server farm warm)
