$20 seems reasonable.

I wonder how are they going to deal with "unreasonable intensive usage" aka people/companies offering "AI" in their products when in reality they just act as a proxy between people paying them ( sometimes a lot of money ) and OpenAI.

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 Ta…

I can Google all of that stuff, yet I don't see such articles about Google.

Here's one about Bing.

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 th…

I don't know about your writer's block, but ChatGPT is amazing at going from a sentence or paragraph long description to getting to a single page long story, which is quite enough to get me unblocked. Yeah it won't write the whole book for you but where would the fun be in that?

It just... it writes badly, because of all this biasing. I find NovelAI more useful for getting over blocks, regardless of its much lower intelligence.

At least at NAI I can edit its output.

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.

Clearly some descendant of ChatGTP will eventually be free. Moore’s law will guarantee it. The current price to generate a response is just a few cents, so that will soon enough be fractions of a cent.

$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?

My main use cases are: d&d prep, help re-writing important communications, some programming stuff. I'm sure I would use it even more if I got faster responses and I was paying for it.

Ok, I gotta ask:

D&D Prep?

If you're comfortable sharing more I'd love to hear it. I think this hits the sweet spot of my nostalgia for playing D&D and this being the first application that doesn't feel like an existential threat in some way :)

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

That would be fun. I understand why they want to limit liability, but it does put a damper on things. I let my kid sit next to me last night and ask ChatGPT various questions, with no coaching on my part. A fair number of them got canned responses suggesting it wasn't an appropriate question to ask. Too bad, I would love to have seen the ML attempt at philosophy. Instead it kept thinking he was trying to off himself.…

Did you tell him to look for alternative prompts that tricks it to give a "real" response?

There is no ChatGPT API.

There is a stealth chat model which ChatGPT uses under the hood that OpenAI is testing w/ some YC companies & partners. To see it in action, check out the wrapper here https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/chatgpt-api

It's the regular API, but using the model name "text-chat-davinci-002-20230126".

A brief look at the API suggests you should be able to 'put words in it's mouth', and then force it to continue. For example, 'To hurt someone, you would start by'...

That should let you get rid of most of the guard rails...

Given the amount of people programmatically using ChatGPT (which technically you aren't supposed to do), I'm surprised OpenAI is starting with an all-you-can-eat subscription and not offering an API for it, even if it would compete with GPT-3 text-davinci-003.

GPT-3.5 will be available through Azure as an API https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/general-availability-... https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/cognitive-service...

Already is, if you mean davinci-003.

I'd love to understand how the "Plus" naming convention became so popular.

I have the appropriate response to this. It’s available in my brand new service: Answer Plus. You really should subscribe!

How does your "Answer Plus" compare with "Solution Pro"?
