BibbyAI vs OpenAI Prism
OpenAI's Prism promises a "free workspace for scientists." But free always comes with a price — and in this case, it's your research data, your intellectual property, and your privacy.
Your research is your life's work. Choose the platform that respects it.
Ask Yourself: Why Is It "Free"?
They Read Your Research
OpenAI processes all content through their servers. Your unpublished findings, novel methods, and breakthroughs are seen by their systems — and potentially used to train future AI models.
They Store Your Data
When you use Prism, your research lives on OpenAI's servers. They decide how long to keep it, who can access it, and what happens to it. You're not in control.
They Profit From You
OpenAI is a $100B+ company. "Free" means your data is the product. Your research contributions help train models that OpenAI sells to others — without compensating you.
Ethical AI Assistance by Google DeepMind
