reader Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 The enchantment with ChatGPT may be dampened a bit with news that it's probably going to cost you going forward. From MSN ChatGPT is testing a paid version — here's what that means for free users As OpenAI moves toward charging for more sophisticated versions of its popular ChatGPT bot, users may wonder how much longer they can count on it staying free. The company, which recently disclosed Microsoft's multi-billion dollar investment in its technology, has floated plans for a subscription option called "ChatGPT Professional," which would offer better access at a cost. While OpenAI is taking feedback from prospective customers about what they think the AI bot's offerings are worth to them, some users are seeing a $42 monthly option, The Verge reported this month. OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman had indicated that such an option could be in the works when he tweeted back in December that "we will have to monetize it somehow at some point; the compute costs are eye-watering." https://www.msn.com/en-in/money/technology/chatgpt-is-testing-a-paid-version-heres-what-that-means-for-free-users/ar-AA16RKyP TMax 1 Quote
