In regards to the concerns expressed by Mostaque about the centralization of generative AI, it is understandable, but not everyone agrees that it is currently the dominant trend in the industry. Associate Professor Chinmay Hegde from NYU Tandon school of engineering explained that there is a vast and diverse landscape with each company having their own models. While many of the prominent AI models are closed source, there are exceptions like Meta.

Additionally, the number of available AI models and the relative novelty of the technology in the market contribute to a certain level of diversity. Hegde emphasized that the field of generative AI is still in its early stages, and it is crucial to maintain a diverse range of AIs, particularly those that are open source, to address the key challenges in this field.
