It's silly that you can't even see what these things can do without having a $20/mo subscription. They have one line descriptions for each one, but it doesn't really tell you what it actually does. They need to add a feature list and provide some examples for each one of these. There is zero reason for anyone to start a new subscription when you don't even know what the app does.

ChatGPT+ is so very ridiculously valuable I'm shocked people still complain about it costing $20 a month. I would still pay for ChatGPT+ at $200 a month because it saves me so much time. If you're a knowledge worker in a modern economy, I can all but guarantee you're penny-wise but pound-foolish not paying for it.

I think this is proof no matter how little you charge people, they will always complain -- so ignore the complaints and increase your prices.

"Hey do you want an AI assistant more knowledgeable than any human?" "Yes!" "Will you pay $20 for it?" "NOOO!!"

This is a non sequitur. The comment you're responding to isn't complaining about having to pay, or about the amount being too high. It's complaining about having to pay without knowing what you're even getting.

It's pretty common for companies to forbid employees to put any company data in those tools. So then you can't use it for work anyway.

You can get the microsoft copilot app for iOS which includes GPT4 for free

Google Bard is also free

If you are not paid for being a computer geek - for example, if you are a very interested teenager, or an underprivileged adult, who loves playing with these things but has $0 budget - then the very fact there is a price for entry is a hard to surmount barrier. So while I am happy to pay my $20 a month, I can sympathise with those for whom it might as well be $200 a month given their ability to pay up.

But, you can get API access for GTP 4.x and use it in your own workflows. And those workflows may contain tooling and info which you can't provide at ChatGPT. Maybe it's still worth paying $20 / month for, but I also haven't used ChatGPT for months.

To be fair, if the GPT creator doesn’t do a good job of explaining the GPT, you can’t really tell even if you pay $20. The only way is to try out the GPT and hope you hit the right features. Chat is a pretty bad interface to discover features.

[dbtc]

Not really, just ask about the features.

They should have apple’s policy of try for free for 3-7 days and then it goes to subscriptions.
