Will you be paying for ChatGPT+?
I was just offered the paid subscription yesterday for $20/mo. I went ahead and signed up for this month just to see if bringing back the late-December speeds and uptime would feel compelling.
I'm still not really incorporating ChatGPT into my daily workflows at all, but I give it lots of "for fun" prompts all day. So, I am not confident I will stick with the subscription past a month, but I hope the payment pushes me to find more practical uses for it.
How about you?
I'm going to stick with the free version until OpenAI releases ChatGPT API and becomes transparent about how they are filtering the results, because as much as I don't like hate speech, I don't want yet another big tech company decide what's acceptable speech for me.
I am checking my mail more often to see when my invite comes. Not to further the use of a bad technology, but chatgpt is pretty good at bash. And it solved a couple C++ build problems.
You should spend a couple days and try and use it to solve all of your problems, either directly or indirectly. The limitation is in how we are failing to utilize the available tools.
Yes, I'm still on the waitlist, but am looking forward to gaining access.
It has been a rare day in the last couple months where I haven't found some useful way of applying it.
Just last night I was showing a friend who works in AutoCAD how he can ask ChatGPT to help him automate calculations in his drawing (get perimeter/area of a polyline). ChatGPT started spitting out AutoLISP and answering questions questions about how to get it running on his system and his mind was blown.
We didn't verify that the code would run, but my buddy hadn't even considered the possibility since he doesn't code. But now he has a starting point to hack on, and with a combination of more ChatGPT prompts and Google searches, I'm confident he'll be well on his way.
Considering what I pay to have a decent meal or good time in NYC, $20/mo is a bargain for unrestricted access to such a tool. I'm also hoping ChatGPT+ users will get early access to things like the official API.
Let's see if startups solely basing their entire business on someone else's API (i.e. ChatGPT) will actually learn their lesson since OpenAI can also compete against their own partners and undercut them.
So far my predictions on OpenAI for 2023 [0] have become very accurate and expected but happened surprisingly early. From their investment [1] to pricing the ChatGPT API [2] and now I will expect OpenAI to start competing against their partners as I said in [0].
The only way to compete against OpenAI is an open-source version of ChatGPT.

If it comes without filters then yes. Otherwise I'll stay on the free version.
I think I pay less than a dollar a month for my use of GPT-3 at the moment. I only used ChatGPT once but it seemed inferior and more restrictive than just using the API directly. Am I missing something?
If I can use it without the filters, absolutely
Already paying for copilot and the integration into editors is significantly more useful for me.
I have paid for GTP-3 in the past. I think it’s incredible and likely worth it to many people. I wouldn’t currently pay for it because I don’t have a use case that requires generating a lot of template code or communication, but I did, I would get out the credit card in a flash.
ChatGTP isn’t AGI yet, but it’s incredibly powerful today. Even if GTP-4 wasn’t around the corner, I think the current state of LLMs would be able to power many new businesses and use cases over coming decades. Even that AI Seinfeld clone could be turned into a choose your own adventure streaming Netflix with enough refinement.
Not sure yet. I've mostly just used it to play around, and it's been an interesting diversion, but not much more so far. But I've heard enough accounts of people using it for productive purposes that I'm intrigued by the possibilities. So yeah, dunno yet. I might sign up for the paid plan. Not sure if/when I'll be eligible to even do so, so there's also that.
Or maybe I'll wait and see what Google roll out. :-)
Definitely. It's increased my productivity more than all of those vitamins and brain-enhancer supplements and meditations (I'm a programmer).
I think $20/mo is too much. We currently pay $10/mo for NovelAI, which is not even comparable to ChatGPT by any means (ChatGPT is miles better), but in order to switch we would need a comparable price and of course to remove the ridiculous phone number requirement since we don't have one.

I'll probably give it a test drive for a month or so. I can spare the $20, and i am super curious about it. Yes i could use it now, but my hope is the $20 is a slightly different version.
I'm mostly curious about the future of it, though. The next iteration (GPT4?) and beyond.
Not yet, but probably will once available in the UK.
Think I might add co-pilot and kagi too while I'm at it. The extra 40ish a month while not insignificant isn't all that much considering I spend that on coffee...(Should reduce that lol)
Wouldn't it be better if this question is asked as a poll?
No, I don't use it for anything but fun. It's useless for me, because it's just a fancy text generator and I'm not writing a book
I can't financially support a Nanny state / totalitarian-esque black-box censorship, so no.
Not for me, maybe useful in the corporate environment where training is pretty much non-existent.
Nope. I'm sitting out ChatGPT until the hype settles down a bit and I can judge it better.
Once my vesting lock up period at my new job is done yes. Until then I’m penny pinching.
They would have to totally lock down their free preview first.
probably not for the current version, but I think the next gen version or version trained for programming will finally break me (or my wallet)
too much. its just too damned expensive.
