@Andrey Karenkov : Google和Microsoft都将AI功能整合到其办公套件中,并调整了定价策略,这反映了AI工具免费化与商业化并存的趋势。Google使Gmail和Docs中的AI功能免费,但提高了Workspace的订阅价格;Microsoft重新发布了Copilot for Business,提供免费的AI聊天和按需付费的代理服务。这两种策略都旨在吸引用户并提高收入。 @Alessio : 许多公司将AI功能与现有产品捆绑销售,并通过提高价格来掩盖AI功能的实际成本,这是一种财务手段。中型公司通常会免费提供AI功能,因为他们缺乏足够的议价能力。微软等公司将AI功能与现有产品捆绑销售,是为了提升AI投资的内部回报率。 @Swix : 我个人对AI功能免费化持积极态度,认为这有助于AI的普及。但是,我也同意AI洗白的现象确实存在。 Alessio: 新闻机构与大型语言模型公司之间的数据合作是人工智能领域“数据战争”的一个例子。新闻机构与大型语言模型公司合作,既可以获得资金,又可以增加网站流量。新闻机构与大型语言模型公司合作的交易金额通常在数十万美元到数千万美元之间,并且这些交易通常是非排他性的。在与大型语言模型公司合作时,新闻机构需要权衡起诉和达成协议的经济效益。大型语言模型公司在支付数据使用费用的同时,也承认其训练数据使用行为并非“合理使用”。 Andrey Karenkov: Google与美联社达成协议,通过Gemini提供最新的新闻信息,这反映了新闻机构与大型语言模型公司之间数据合作的趋势。Mistral与法新社达成协议,在其Le Chat聊天机器人中提供最新的新闻信息。
