OpenAI Begins Piloting ChatGPT Professional, a Premium Version of Its Viral Chatbot (techcrunch.com) 24
OpenAI this week signaled it'll soon begin charging for ChatGPT, its viral AI-powered chatbot that can write essays, emails, poems and even computer code. From a report: In an announcement on the company's official Discord server, OpenAI said that it's "starting to think about how to monetize ChatGPT" as one of the ways to "ensure [the tool's] long-term viability." The monetized version of ChatGPT will be called ChatGPT Professional, apparently. That's according to a waitlist link OpenAI posted in the Discord server, which asks a range of questions about payment preferences including "At what price (per month) would you consider ChatGPT to be so expensive that you would not consider buying it?"
The waitlist also outlines ChatGPT Professional's benefits, which include no "blackout" (i.e. unavailability) windows, no throttling and an unlimited number of message with ChatGPT -- "at least 2x the regular daily limit." OpenAI says that those who fill out the waitlist form may be selected to pilot ChatGPT Professional, but that the program is in the experimental stages and won't be made widely available "at this time."

Will this version of ChatGPT have the guts to make decisions?
If you ask it a question like "If Michael Jordan and Lebron James (both in their prime) played a game of one on one basketball, who would win?", will it attempt to give a real answer, instead of chickening out and saying something like "I don't know, but it should be a good match"?

What is your opinion about monetization of ChatGPT?
"As an AI, I do not have personal opinions or feelings. However, I can provide information and context on the topic of monetization of AI systems like the one I am running on, which is Chat GPT. Monetization of AI technologies such as natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning can take many forms, such as licensing the technology to other businesses, offering a subscription-based service, or creating a marketplace for AI-generated content.

Well that's too bad. Maybe in ten years and on a different platform we'll have something able and willing to provide good, cogent arguments.

ChatGPT is a pre-trained language model developed by OpenAI that can be fine-tuned for a variety of natural language processing tasks, such as language translation, text summarization, and conversation modeling. Here are some potential pros and cons to monetizing ChatGPT:
Pros:
High accuracy: ChatGPT is a state-of-the-art language model and can produce highly accurate results for a wide range of NLP tasks.
Versatility: ChatGPT can be fine-tuned

Not at all. ChatGPT produces a result for an input whereas NFT is the conversion of money into nothing of value. There are practical applications for ChatGPT, there are none for NFTs.

You've given a good example of how humans spout nonsense, which thankfully is not what ChatGPT does.
Hahahahahahah
It's remarkably useful and clear, if sometimes a bit verbose.
Sometimes that's true! Other times, it's complete horseshit, and it says things which are obviously and directly self-contradictory. If you haven't seen examples of this, it's because you've been in an AI cheerleading echo chamber. I've seen ample examples of both types of response, and I'm not trying to suggest that ChatGPT is worthless or always wrong... but I am outright stating that if you don't think ChatGPT produces total nonsense at least some of the time, you don't really know anything

ChatGPT produces a lot of complete bullshit output. Sometimes it directly contradicts itself. But it also produces a lot of worthwhile output, as defined by being more useful, accurate, and well-written than probably the bulk of content on the internet. More and more often, when I go looking for an article what I find is a pit of plagiarism and horseshit produced by piece workers (through some kind of mechanical turk like upwork, or even mturk itself) which is also complete bullshit. It's frankly usually w

I honestly think most of the newspaper articles about climate change are now being written by ChatGPT. Literally, they all look like they came from the same mold.
It's like, anytime a natural disaster happens somewhere, someone gets ChatGPT to vomit an article that allegedly links the disaster to climate change without actually offering a single supporting fact. Half the time, the articles start off reading like a long introductory paragraph or ten... then just abruptly end without actually contributing anyt

I've seen this thing produce nonsensical stuff, or get into "response loops" ... BUT I have also used it to save loads of time at work solving coding problems, learning new tools/tech or even writing documentation.
Depending on price I'm not sure I could convince my bosses to pay for it, but god I do NOT want to go back to the stackoverflow world
