Launch of ChatGPT premium version, a more expensive version of OpenAI’s popular chatbot
This week, OpenAI hinted that it might soon start charging for ChatGPT, a popular chatbot powered by AI that can create documents like essays, emails, poetry, and even computer code. OpenAI stated that one of the ways it is “beginning to think about how to commercialise ChatGPT” is to “guarantee [the tool’s] long-term survival” in a post on the company’s official Discord channel.
Evidently, ChatGPT Professional will be the name of the commercialised version of the software. In the Discord server, OpenAI provided a waitlist link that includes a series of questions about payment preferences, including one that asks, “At what price (per month) would you consider ChatGPT to be so costly that you would not consider buying it?”
The waitlist also lists the advantages of ChatGPT Professional, which include “at least 2x the standard daily limit” of messages and no “blackout” (i.e., unavailability) windows. The waitlist form’s submitters may be chosen for a trial of ChatGPT Professional, according to OpenAI, but the service is still in its experimental phases and won’t be made generally available “at this moment.”
Despite controversy and a number of bans, ChatGPT has succeeded in generating significant media coverage for OpenAI and innumerable online jokes. A few investors have included ChatGPT into their business processes. For an advertisement for Mint Mobile, the mobile provider he co-owns, Ryan Reynolds used ChatGPT. Additionally, according to reports, Microsoft would integrate ChatGPT’s AI into its Office programme and Bing.
