Reasonable pricing - (my upper limit in the OpenAI survey)

Does it mean that you have to be from US AND be on the waitlist to buy Plus?

I am on the waitlist but not US based...

If a friend buys US based subscription will they geo-block it?

Is there never going to be a version with less restrictions and filters? That would really be worth paying for.

Yes please. It really needs a “safe search off” mode. It can have a big disclaimer “if you ask for something offensive then you’ll get it”.

I can just see the article now: OpenAI is run by a bunch of violent racist sexist rapists. Using the new "safe search off mode", we found out ChatGPT's underlying biases, and it turns out that it's horrible, the people that made it are horrible, and you're a horrible person for using their service. But really we're horrible for writing this article.

OpenAI doesn't want that story to be written, but after Microsoft Tay, you can be sure someone's got an axe to grind and is itching to write it, especially against such a high-profile target.

How does a disclaimer stop that article from coming out?

I'll wait for it to hit 2$ (and hallucinate to a reasonable degree). No hurry. Or maybe it will be an office 365 feature in 2, 3 years? Meanwhile, the gpt api will do.

You're assuming the GPT API remains free. Which in the face of a paid, competing service from the same vendor, doesn't seem like a safe assumption. I mean, sure it'll eventually come down to $2, but by that time, the rest of computing will have moved onto something new.

Not free, I'm assuming it will remain "Pay as you go". (for occasional scripts, or use through other apps)

$20/month seems more reasonable than the rumored $42 (likely a Hitchhiker's Guide reference) If you are willing to pay for this service, why? What are your use cases?

I taught myself to code just to build a prototype of a couple of products. ChatGPT seems to be good enough for figuring out a lot of functions and digging through documentation. I know that some of the code might be off and likely doesn't follow best practices, but my goal is just to get the prototype up and running.

I've learned enough that I can put it all together. Learning any more will mean going down the full-time dev route, which, while enticing, is something I don't have enough time for.

ChatGPT is just a way to speed up the process.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Use their API. They have models in their API with similar capabilities and without guardrails.

There is no ChatGPT API.

ChatGPT is, for most use cases, a simple conversational wrapper around GPT3.5 which is available via API. You can make your own ChatGPT by giving the following prompt to GPT3.5:

    The following is a transcript between a helpful AI assistant
    and a human. The AI assistant can provide factual information
    (but only from before mid 2021, when its training data cuts
    off), ask clarifying questions, and engage in chit chat.

    Transcript:
    {your chat transcript}

    Output the next thing the AI says:
This will work basically like ChatGPT for nearly all use cases, and does not have the same lobotimization caused by their safety RLHF features.

The problem is that they actually want to shape the narrative to "safe" content that they approve of. It's disguised moral and political activism.

Seeing the way the media and public outcry goes, unfortunately, I think that it's not even really OpenAI's fault anymore, unless their handwringing about the dangers of releasing models for their transition to being closed helped fuel the fire.

In any case, NovelAI seems to be the most hands-off company offering generations as a service, so if they ever run a ChatGPT clone I assume it will be the defacto choice if you don't like not being able to have generations with naughty words or worse.

But seriously, even just googling for information about GPT turns up 1,000 articles exactly like this:
