I understand that claim. I'll agree the vast majority of Nix users I've encountered could likely afford to use ChatGPT-4 if they wanted.

As to our domain of discourse, I'm here to speak about what we owe to all people, and I'm not here to make that assumption about our interlocutor. Maybe you know our interlocutor, but I don't think your standalone quote is a morally appropriate argument with a stranger. Setting aside those who might be the sort to possibly play with nix who haven't, I've also met people who have played with nix but cannot afford ChatGPT-4, or don't have access to pay for it. There really may be good reasons our interlocutor hasn't tried ChatGPT-4, and I think your joke can be easily misinterpreted as a flippant response or a putdown.

I appreciate the meme though. You're correct about the vast difference in ability between ChatGPT-4 and every other model the public can access.

You keep saying “chatgpt-4”; I wonder if you’re aware that you don’t need to pay $20 a month (which is what that costs) to use gpt4. If you use it through the API instead, even a fairly heavy user comes out to a dollar or two a month.

I understand one can pay to use APIs to various models offered by OpenAI. API use with maximum context does add up for significant users. It does cost something, and not everyone can pay that cost.
