@Inginsub i guess it just started as a way to show the technology, but then people started overusing it and they said, "heck why are we not making money out of this?"

@hideki the problem with neural network is that they are expensive to run, whoever hosts this thing probably burns a lot of money on electricity alone, so I can't blame them. Still, it's just a gimmick website.

A similar thing happened to AI Dungeon: at first it was a free GPT-2 based story generator, then the team rolled out the GPT-3 based model and made it paid-only, which wasn't enough even to recoup the loss, and then they started requiring an account to use the service. All for an AI-based text adventure generator that wasn't even good.
