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.
