When you pay for ChatGPT, you’re not just buying a model, you’re buying the UX wrapper around a series of models, and that wrapper has been improving at a very rapid clip making it more accessible to a wider audience.

Example: a week ago the natural conversation feature sucked. Now it doesn’t. That’s huge for creating a D0 positive engagement.

The question is, how many people are willing to pay for it, when there are free alternatives available. There are only ~1M developers in the US, who are perhaps the main market, and developer market for AI is changing rapidly, with the current best solution being Cursor + Sonnet 3.5, or Cursor Pro where you don't even need to bring your own Sonnet API key.

As AI gets more tightly integrated into IDEs, and office suites, then stand-alone products like ChatGPT become less relevant, and the underlying provider more of a replaceable commodity. Would anyone really notice or care if Github CoPilot switched overnight to use a Microsoft/Anthropic/Meta model rather than an OpenAI one ?!
