The new model combined with the GPTs feature is incredible. I made 10 GPTs yesterday.

My favorite is Meme Machine, where you just specify a concept like "return to office, safari animals" and it generates an image with DALL-E and then composites text over it using Python:

I noticed all my GPTs started working better yesterday, must have been the new model rollout.

At $10/month, ChatGPT-4 is reasonable. At $20, that's a no no!

Even now that it has image generation via DALL-E 3, image comprehension via GPT-4V, and the Android app can hold a voice conversation with you, with unprecedented voice recognition accuracy?

what would a ordinary person use all these for beyond curiosities? I pay for but i only use it handful of times after i remind myself to use it .

When you have a question, there's no answer on Google and you don't know who else to ask.

I use it usually 10-20 times per day. 5-10 when I'm not working and like 20-30 when I'm working. It saves me a huge amount of time. It would already make sense at a wage of $20 but I earn more and so it is so much worth it. Even if I earn no wage (say a indie dev working on a game) it would still be useful because I save time which I can invest in other things (or play video games). I'd honestly pay $50-$100 for it a…

What do you use it for?

I went for a walk and had a conversation about Rademacher complexity and VC-dimension of a classifier, then I asked it to quiz my understanding based on what we talked about. It's almost at the level on "Her" but you have a very knowledgeable tutor to ask who won't judge and is always available.

You have to consider costs. If it costs them $15/month to provide the service (just a made up number) then $10/month would not be reasonable. The Plus users also subsidize the Free users to a certain extent. The other effect at work here is anchoring. OpenAI wants people to be prepared to pay more for AI. Setting a higher price anchors that price in people’s minds and makes it feel normal. This will serve them better…

But therein lies the crucial question, does the actual business value of the service exceed the costs of running the service + reasonable profit margin? If not, then no amount of anchoring will help.

Not sure if it’s related or not but I noticed the UX has changed on the web interface and when I ask for code, it now defaults to running it through an interpreter with a hidden view by default. This is very annoying to me as I want to mostly read the code, not have it be executed without any context

The value it haves for you may exceed or not its price. But "you" is an important part of that equation.

What value does a procedural text generator provide?

I don't work in tech and I use LLaMa. It is great for writing overviews of a subject which I use to make sure I have most of my bases covered (and helping me see which of my ideas are more original), getting more examples, along with other creative tasks. Getting it to compare two subjects to see what they have in common is usually quite helpful.
