My son asked if which of two animals would win in a fight and we just got a lecture about how fighting is bad.<p>I hope they’ll give an option to turn off what I’m calling “hall monitor mode”<p>That could be worth paying for.

They can monetize it if they want, but I just want it to not be as bad as DALL-E 2.<p>When using an AI, it&#x27;s not unusual to have to tinker a bit to get exactly what you want from it. Today, DALL-E cost 15$ to use it 115 times, but 90% of the time you don&#x27;t really get good images, or necessarily exactly what you want. it means that you&#x27;re actually paying 15$ for 10 or something image that are actually what you wanted.<p>I don&#x27;t want to pay 15$ for 200 message on chatGPT and having to spend time to think about what i&#x27;m going to write because i&#x27;m afraid of wasting my credit. I might as well spend time thinking about doing the thing myself.

“However, ever since the chatbot has come into action, it has been negatively impacting students&#x27; learning.”<p>This sentence is out of nowhere, did ChatGPT write this article? How could someone think something so new is suddenly negatively impacting students across the board.

Remember OpenAI&#x27;s original mission statement?<p>&gt; OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research company. Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return. Since our research is free from financial obligations, we can better focus on a positive human impact.<p>Let&#x27;s just say that their goals have obviously changed.<p>edit: As with SBF, longtermism provides an excellent cover.<p>Source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openai.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;introducing-openai&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openai.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;introducing-openai&#x2F;</a>

Curious what others would pay&#x2F;if anyone else signed the form?<p>I&#x27;d pay like $10&#x2F;mo I think. Possibly more if there were no censorship&#x2F;limitations (it had access to internet browsing, and I could direct it to URL&#x27;s for information and whatnot).<p>I pay that for Copilot right now, which I feel is easily worth $50&#x2F;mo. (I don&#x27;t use ChatGPT that much, it&#x27;d need to be ingrained in my IDE workflow)

I&#x27;ve spent the past weeks asking scientific stuff, enjoyed the conversation and saw its shortcomings.<p>Today, while cooking some rice, I started to chat with it about what my options are, with what I have in the kitchen, and it was a really great interaction. I ended up eating something valuable, and I have a new recipe for what I&#x27;m going to cook next. I don&#x27;t cook. I mostly buy frozen vegetable mixtures or frozen meat and see myself rarely cutting some fresh vegetables.<p>For a moment the thought came to my mind about the possibility to use it to &quot;entertain&quot; kids, like have them ask questions and get answers, interact with those answers and just let their curiosity decide the path. At the end you could get a summary and the complete transcript, to see what your kid was asking about and which responses it got, so that you know what interests your kid and if it has possibly been taught something erroneous by the AI. You could even use it to prepare yourself for a conversation with your kid, similar to &quot;how was school today, did you learn something interesting today?&quot;.<p>If this type of AI can ensure that the content is correct and the discussion is healthy, then this will have a huge market opportunity, where parents can hand off the mind of the kid to the AI to get answers to its questions while the parents do the chores. Magnitudes of orders better than giving them a tablet so that they play candy crush just to keep silent.<p>Let&#x27;s assume that this would become a reality, maybe in 10 years, then in 20 years we would have the first 10 year old kids which have been partially raised or educated by an AI. I see a lot of possibilities for this to have a good effect on kids. Also assume that kids of interaction-poor families, possibly parents without a job, also get the possibility to interact with these knowledge machines, the positive effect on them could be even greater.

Something interesting that will come from these LLM is university is all about writing papers, you get your degree by writing papers.<p>Now you can argue each year the value of a university degree will drop because more and more people will get LLM to write their papers for them.<p>The whole higher education model may need to change, its a similar paradigm shift as the invention of the graphs calculator.

If released in the right way, this will have a huge benefit for education.<p>Students will have to focus on the innovative ideas and concepts. Wordsmithing is annoying and not really productive work. A machine should to it.<p>Sure teachers have to adapt and redesign courses.

Maybe if they remove their draconian censorship and bias modificators.

I&#x27;m out of the loop - who owns the output of ChatGPT? I thought that generating IP with AI is a bit of an open question in most of the world.<p>How do they reconcile ChatGPT&#x27;s output as derivative works of all the training text?<p>&gt; ChatGPT is being dubbed as a Google alternative<p>This is leaning towards &quot;don&#x27;t use the output for anything&quot;. Is this what the actual product is? 21st century Clippy?
neoviveover 2 years ago
Is OpenAI looking to break even and use ChatGPT as a loss-leader for other services or will they position ChatGPT as their cash cow for the near-future? Pricing a powerful product like this is tough, especially since it&#x27;s only a matter of time before competitors join the market. Per-token pricing doesn&#x27;t seem viable for ChatGPT.
ojosilvaover 2 years ago
I would like to see a ChatGPT with custom user exits at every step of the processing pipeline from prompt to result.<p>That&#x27;s what would make a Professional (&quot;Professional&quot; sounds very Windowsy btw) version a very interesting product. It would really allow you to customize the input&#x2F;output formats (ie. the current table rendering format, code excerpts, etc.) through an API and be able to plug it into product wrappers for every domain out there.<p>Also, model augmentation of some sort would also be of value. So that I could train additional (better or more relevant) chat responses based on my own input data. I don&#x27;t know if that is doable though. My experience augmenting models without retraining the entire network has not been very successful.

So unsurprisingly within 72 hours of my comment highlighting about the first part of my prediction on <i>OpenAI certainly getting more investment</i> as the first phase [0], now they have made the second phase of my prediction becoming true:<p>&gt; <i>ChatGPT by then will become a paid service</i> [1]<p>For the third phase, we&#x27;ll see how the startups building their entire business on top of OpenAI will last even when OpenAI can also compete against their own partners.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=34321066" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=34321066</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=34201706" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=34201706</a>

I&#x27;ve been using you.com&#x27;s chat feature a lot recently, which is a ChatGPT-like conversational AI.<p>It&#x27;s so good that I have now switched over my default search engine to you.com, as of last week. First change to my default in over 15 years.

I would possibly pay, for access to chatGPT with a model that is a lot more up to date than 2021. Also it should learn from the questions we ask.

I just wish companies would move these types of conversations&#x2F;notifications off of twitter -- i&#x27;m done with that s-show.

I would pay for a Premium ChatGPT only if it comes with disabled watermarking. Otherwise, I&#x27;ll use something else.

I think it&#x27;s a very reasonable ask to charge for access to a premium version of ChatGPT considering the infrastructure required behind the scenes. Otherwise, they&#x27;d have to offer an ad-supported version at some point. My hope is that a free version continues to be offered though.
fiat_fandangoover 2 years ago
I&#x27;d be very open to paying for a &quot;license&quot; of ChatGPT that I run on my own horde of nVidia GPU&#x27;s. Something like $2k per year for a &quot;secured&quot; personal license would be awesome. The largest line item for all stable diffusion &#x2F; AI things is compute cost.

There&#x27;s definitely huge value in the system, but there&#x27;s a lot of work to do to make it even more valuable. Hope they will get close to the premium product soon. Would be happy to pay for it even in its current form within reasonable price range.

Wish they can at least release previous conversations.<p>I have been seeing &quot;previous conversations are temporarily unavailable&quot; for days and all I wanted is just to save some of my previously generated essays.

No monthly costs. I’d gladly pay per hour of compute credits,<p>but im not going to pay monthly for something that is so sporadically useful.<p>I use chatGPT quite often so far, but not at all regularly.
wendyshuover 2 years ago
OpenAI has to pay for resources to run the service. I&#x27;m more concerned about whether the research is &quot;open&quot; in the sense of being public and open source.
ranting-mothover 2 years ago
They&#x27;ve totally castrated ChatGPT. Microsoft apparently is in talks to invest $10B in OpenAI, so no wonder.<p>I think we might end up with a very advanced version of Clippy.
tmalyover 2 years ago
If it was hooked up to a GPT-4 and I could feed it newer data to incorporate, I would pay for premium.<p>This type of service would give you a competitive advantage.
