    With the FOSS model you get credited at least, so you are getting something out of it even if it’s not monetary. With ChatGPT you don’t even get that. You’re feeding an AI that’s being monetized by someone else, what possible incentive could people have to contribute anymore?

      Not everyone is motivated by money and recognition, are you aware of that? Since humans were humans, cooperation has been an integral part of society and still is today.

      Some people will always try to monetize everything, but still, people continue to develop FOSS.

      ChatGPT will be no different in that regard.

        When a single entity reaps all of the rewards of that cooperation, people are much less motivated to do that.

        Some people are politically motivated, there are tons of reasons, but it’s a two way interaction in all of these cases.
