I understand this sentiment - it’s just another step of monetized lifestyle. The internet was never free. Remember all those free internet AOL cd-roms? It was never really free. Telephone calls, same. Never had free calls either. OpenAI can be compared to a telephone network operator. They built a system that people want to use, we got to pay. However maybe the tools OpenAI are developing become so ingrained into the publics life that they eventually become public utilities. We still have to pay.
