Aww. I was hoping for an extension that allows you to publish your ChatGPT transcripts to a public database, and search the database for existing prompts+responses. Maybe some sort of tagging and rating feature.

You can access it for free?

Where every idiot with a Google account/Microsoft account/phone number can sign up for their service and start churning out tokens per second by the query, I'd say it's pretty open to the public. The far more closed alternative would be to keep it invite only, granted only towards a set of elites, at select companies. Only OpenAI knows how much $20/user is charging them, but for the price insensitive wealthy, after b…

If you think the bar for "open" is that low then i guess Windows is "open" too.
