The risks of building apps on ChatGPT

The text discusses the potential risks of relying on external, proprietary AI models like OpenAI for critical features in applications. It highlights single provider risk, regulation or policy change risk, financial risk, and governance and leadership risk as some of the key concerns. The author argues that using open source language models and self-hosting them can mitigate these risks by providing more control over privacy policies, usage fees, and model behavior. They also suggest considering renting GPU access from cloud providers for hosting AI models.
