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

$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.

Yeah it's interesting how their pricing model for existing APIs isn't subscription-based ( https://openai.com/api/pricing/ ) I wonder why they diverged here?

I've been using ChatGPT pretty consistently during the workday and have found it useful for open ended programming questions, "cleaning up" rough bullet points into a coherent paragraph of text, etc. $20/month useful is questionable though, especially with all the filters. My "in between" solution has been to configure BetterTouchTool (Mac App) with a hotkey for "Transform & Replace Selection with Javascript". This i…

i used the same API but for an ios shortcut. it's not the same thing as chatgpt, as the completions api doesn't know about context. but it does feel a lot snappier.

> have found it useful for open ended programming questions

i have found it to be terrible when it comes to something simple, like constructing a regex.

$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?

For me, chatGPT is simply a good replacement for {stackexchange, reddit, wikipedia, github, google,bing, etc.}. All information is accessible in one place and it's easy to ask about anything and get a structured answer. My topics of interest are advanced math, philosophy of physics, and modern semiconductors technology.

US only :(

"We’ll begin to invite people from the waitlist and will broaden availability beyond the United States soon. Join the waitlist here: https://forms.gle/WGCzGxkA16EZekdM6 " From their discord server...

The problem with US only thing is not that they prioritize payed users, but usually when this happens, the free version gets much worse as it burns money.

I see the same thing with Twitter blue: it's US only (and few more countries) as well, and for people in other countries it's just ads.

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?

Oh yeah, we had some fun with it, talking about what the technology is doing (to the limits of my ability and his to understand, obviously) and how we could use that to inform the wording of the questions.

But I still let him ask all the questions, even so. He's such a creative thinker, I was pretty impressed at some of the things it was able to come up with plausible sounding responses for.
