Regardless of there being ads or not, paying $200 per month for ChatGPT is insane.
who thought ads weren’t coming to AI?
but having ads on paid accounts sux tho
Success! This is what all the circular CapEx was leading to!

Imagine paying $200 a month for ChatGPT. That’s even more absurd than the ads.
It’s weird that they couldn’t figure out a better way of advertising. There are plethora ways chat GPT could be advertising without the consumer even realizing it. (5th$) Why make your business look cheap and desperate with rudimentary ads?
Pepsi presents… addition and substraction
People who think paying 200$ a month for a product/service is some insane thing that every business isnt already doing kinda baffles me.
100% recession indicator, no lie
Right now Chat GPT needs to increase its revenue by about 9x to break even, it can only exist now thanks to companies dumping billions into this technology.
Unless someone suddenly invents cold fusion power or GPUs that last forever, there is no possi le way for them to ever turn a profit unless they drastically increase the price of their services and flood it with ads. Even then, i dont think that will even be half of what they need to survive.
Nobody is going to pay $1k per month for this, and they know that.
I canceled my subscription.
ChatGPT was doing some really strange things and providing blatantly false information. Like the time it told me that 172 Terawatts was equal to 172 Gigawatts. Which is weird because I didn’t ask it to discuss that. It just arbitrarily provided false information when I asked about the energy consumption of data centers.
Then I asked it to draw a pencil sketch of a dog. It did the delay thing then stopped. I asked why it didn’t create the picture. It replied that it did and that fact that I couldn’t see it didn’t mean it didn’t create it. I then rephrased the request to post the picture in the reply. It said it created the picture but it did not show it. Then it simply reposted the picture I uploaded. When I pointed out that it was the same picture I uploaded, it said its pencil sketch was so good I simply couldn’t see the difference. It was like arguing with a deceptive 5 year old. Then I created a project and asked it to create a pencil sketch of the dog and it did it.
Another time I uploaded a picture of myself and asked it to create a pencil sketch and it refused to do so because my selfie was copyrighted material.
Then I asked it how high an SR71 could fly. It replied that the SR71 was not capable of high altitude flight. Which is very incorrect. It often flew on the edge of space.
HA.
Imagine paying money for ChatGPT, and being fed ADS. When there are free models online that are just as good.
Free, and ad free.
The second you add obstacles, you start to lose users. However many people are already extremely dependent on this brand new and unreliable technology so this might do more to discourage casual/new users.
Wait, paid users get ads??? I wonder how business accounts are treated.
Gonna tell you a secret, Chat GPT is broke AF, they need quizillion dollars influx of the green US and a big IF, to make a profit in 5 years from now.
edit: Is not a secret
The era of ChatGPT, just like a lot of the web (at least without an ad blocker of some sort) being unusable, begins.
You guys are paying $200 a month to write bad emails?
I have been adamantly AI and generally avoiding it. Especially as a creative. But, in an attempt to not be a total luddite, have decided to give it a few tries for some basic stuff. The other day I sent a basic piece of non-creative writing through ChatGPT and asked for a basic proofreading. It suggested I put a comma in a sentence. I agreed and was surprised I missed it, so I took a look at my writing. The comma was already there. It suggested a comma where there already was a comma.
If it can’t even get BASIC things like that correct, how the hell are we supposed to trust it with anything else? And of course the fallacy is that people do it for stuff they don’t know about with the assumption it’s correct and don’t realize how colossally wrong it is. I thought people who trusted it were idiots but now I realize I way underestimated how dumb they are.
I feel like this is going to break the spell for some people. It’s hard to maintain the illusion that these are otherworldly powerful sages when they’re peddling ads to you at the same time.
This hallucination brought to you by NordVPN!
ChatGPT is dead, it’s not actually dead yet, but it’s dead. The lawsuits, being ordered to hand over logs, ads, and competition that’s become better than them… They’re gone.
the idea was never to ask this from us. they wanted businesses to fork out the dough. yeah, thousands on thousands on thousands just so that they do not have to hire so much.
if ads are coming, the adoption rate has flatlined.
this is bad news for „them“ over the next one two fiscal years, because they now have find new tangents to 9x their cash income
good lord its good to be a hater
