From what I have read, it doesn't provide a whole lot of features other than giving you a priority in the queue, and storing your chat history, etc.<p>So would you guys rather wait a little longer for the prompt to answer or shell out the $42?<p>Personally, I might pay if they limit the number of responses per month, or they put up a credit system like Dall-E.
I wish they would make the Pro version less filtered and less apologetic about only being a language model.<p>Even it's a bit annoying, I do understand them trying to limit what the free, public facing model will answer but I'd say it'd be a pretty fair expectation to get more leeway for the Pro version.
Innovation is really a weird thing. If we could show ChatGPT to people 10, 20 years ago I'm certain most people would be amazed by this technology.<p>Today, lots of people heavily criticize its limitations and thinks 40 bucks/mo is too much for this kind of tech.<p>Reminds me about newspapers headlines being skeptical when light bulb started being sold for the first time. 99% people seems to be fundamentally conservative and can't grasp innovation properly, nor understand the fast pace of evolution some things can have.<p>Not saying this is good or bad, just an interesting phenomenon to observe.
I am assuming it's not lost on users here, but the answer to all proposed questions is proposed as $42.<p>Sounds like they needed a number in a range and this one provided a nice reference to their clientele.
This too shall pass. This is no different than the time when everyone was crazed about having an Alexa at home because "oh i am too busy to write down my grocery list"
I don't think this price is justifiable for the current interface. I am judging based on my experience with Github Copilot.<p>I use copilot daily (because it is integrate with VSCode), it is very useful for me and it is only $10/month.<p>For ChatGPT to be useful in the everyday use, it has to be integrated in a current workflow, not for breaking the workflow by going to external website, login in, and start chatting.
as a junior engineer, chatgpt helps fill so much gaps in my knowledge to grow. i can ask it to build some code, explain the parts that are confusing, elaborate on concepts that are fuzzy to me, and then help me utilizing some packages. i will definitely shell out $42
100% going to dish out the $42. Would probably go up to $100/mo before thinking about it.<p>For me, it’s it’s a Phd in a multitude of subjects that hallucinates at times.<p>Due to this, it’s augmenting and expediting my learning as I can ask it any stupid question I can think of on a subject.
Yes $42 feels quite cheap to me. I pretty much always have a ChatGPT tab open, mostly for coding but also sometimes for searching more broadly or exploring it's capabilities.<p>It's worth it to me just to have access to a version that doesn't go down as much. I would say I can work about 30% faster on most computer related tasks having it.<p>It feels like another Google (to me). I'd pay $42/mo for Google if it didn't exist otherwise.<p>The nice thing too, if Stable Diffusion is any indication we'll have an even better open source version in a year or two.<p>In either case I just want access to the stuff the automates the largest amount of boring repetitive work.
If you going do business with them, then ...<p>If not, one has to think about the use case, 42$ isn't so much but it's a plenty just for the funs.<p>I for myself would appreciate something like "Problem? 5$"
If it's not solved, then 0.5
:)
Just had ChatGPT write code for scipy and saved at least hour (it ran correctly as-is). $42 is way too cheap for people in software development at least where hourly rates far more than compensates such costs.
I run a startup and can say that ChatGPT saves me a couple hours a week. The other day I needed to write a function that dissolves a geojson outline (say the outline of a state) into h3 hexagons and split a metric into those hexagons. With a little back and forth ChatGPT wrote me something usable in minutes. This is not remotely trivial and would have taken me an hour even with Copilot.<p>While high, I've paid far more for a significantly less capable VA in the past. I'd likely pay up to a $100.
I thought it was based on gpt3 which charges pennies?
I will consider shelling out $10 a month if it's behind a pay wall. But Google the ad company is creating their own chat. So it's an arm's race at this point.
I have copilot and the results are not the best, but it gives me directions where to look. Plus multi line auto completion is the way to go for ide.
The thing is this is something which would only benefit application where your customers are using the API through your service somehow because it would be very difficult to control direct customer usage without any supervision of results for let's say a FAQ bot without strong guarantee of stupidity leakage
no way the final price us $42. that’s just filler copy drawn from what the ai computer says in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Going from free to $500/yr is nuts. $10/mo seems more like the right price
No, it's too much. It's more than half my monthly electricity bill (considering the 42$ doesn't even include VAT).<p>ChatGPT is great but not that great. For work purposes when used to make money, perhaps. I wish they had a token option like with Dall-E.
I ignore AI/ML tech just like I ignore a burgeoning JS framework because I fail to see practical uses in my daily work since I don't use them. I'm the software engineer type that likes solving business problems and don't see the value in things like writing a new programming language or a new compiler, etc. I'll wait for others to explore those research endeavors and for something to become more mainstream.<p>Can someone explain a TL;DR of practical uses in software engineering for ChatGPT? I'm not looking for explanations of what is possible or the potential, just actual use cases where it helped solve a business problem.
