Premium pricing. I would have been okay with $10/mo, this is pushing it. Let's see how long this lasts and whether they'll introduce a lower tier.

This is very expensive to run. I bet they’re not going to have particularly high margins with this. Each response probably costs them several cents.

$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?

It seems to be able to code at least as well as a junior dev, so I think it could be up to, oh, a few thousand per month.

I wonder if it would make sense to re-train an AI like ChatGPT on a large internal code base and then ask it to write new modules in the style of existing modules. If the code it produces is only 30% correct, it would still save a ridiculous amount of time.

Ain’t that the thing about pricing? I’d be ok with a Lamborghini costing $60k. But I’m not going to pay >$100k. Others will though.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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”.

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.

The problem is that they don't want headlines saying "ChatGPT taught me to be the next Timothy McVeigh" or whatever. It's not moral or political activism any more than the vaguely Episcopalian churches sitcom characters go to are propaganda for the Church of England.

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

I'm curious, what filters are you hitting that impede your effective use of ChatGPT? I've definitely seen some irritating outputs, e.g. progressive policy planks characterized as inherently good and correct positions, but only when I went looking for them. The guardrails haven't actually kept me from making use of it.

It's almost useless for writing fiction. The AI clearly has some idea of how, but any time anything even slightly less than perfectly-G-rated happens in the story, it hits the filters.

Actually, it's even more restrictive than that implies. You can't so much as have two siblings quarrel without the AI insisting on turning it into a moral. Right then and there, immediately, never mind the concept of "Stories longer than a single page".

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.

It's $0.02 per 1k tokens for text-davinci-003.

Can't wait for the official API.

In the meantime, we discovered a "stealth model" which is being used by some YC companies that ChatGPT uses under the hood. I just updated the chatgpt NPM package to use this stealth model w/ the official OpenAI completions API: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/chatgpt-api
