Ask HN: Are you going to shell out $42 for ChatGPT pro? Is it worth it? From what I have read, it doesn't provide a whole lot of features other than giving you a priority in the queue, and storing your chat history, etc. So would you guys rather wait a little longer for the prompt to answer or shell out the $42? Personally, I might pay if they limit the number of responses per month, or they put up a credit system like Dall-E. |
Even it's a bit annoying, I do understand them trying to limit what the free, public facing model will answer but I'd say it'd be a pretty fair expectation to get more leeway for the Pro version.
It's possible to view almost every fact or opinion as somehow controversial, and I think they're misguided in trying to prevent things that may generate minor controversies.
In fact, it's interesting to see how a LLM might be biased after taking in massive amounts of training data.
If I was at OpenAI I’d be looking at this sort of ideology as what’s gonna be our downfall like it was with Dall-E 2 once a democratized model is released by someone else.
The problem is it’s so stupid it doesn’t always know how to reverse things and sometimes just makes up a result.
Today, lots of people heavily criticize its limitations and thinks 40 bucks/mo is too much for this kind of tech.
Reminds me about newspapers headlines being skeptical when light bulb started being sold for the first time. 99% people seems to be fundamentally conservative and can't grasp innovation properly, nor understand the fast pace of evolution some things can have.
Not saying this is good or bad, just an interesting phenomenon to observe.
DRMed technology is almost worse than not having it - it’s tantalisingly close, but you can’t use it for what you want because a human (not the machine!) said no.
Sounds like they needed a number in a range and this one provided a nice reference to their clientele.
I use copilot daily (because it is integrate with VSCode), it is very useful for me and it is only $10/month.
For ChatGPT to be useful in the everyday use, it has to be integrated in a current workflow, not for breaking the workflow by going to external website, login in, and start chatting.
For me, it’s it’s a Phd in a multitude of subjects that hallucinates at times.
Due to this, it’s augmenting and expediting my learning as I can ask it any stupid question I can think of on a subject.
It's worth it to me just to have access to a version that doesn't go down as much. I would say I can work about 30% faster on most computer related tasks having it.
It feels like another Google (to me). I'd pay $42/mo for Google if it didn't exist otherwise.
The nice thing too, if Stable Diffusion is any indication we'll have an even better open source version in a year or two.
In either case I just want access to the stuff the automates the largest amount of boring repetitive work.
If not, one has to think about the use case, 42$ isn't so much but it's a plenty just for the funs.
I for myself would appreciate something like "Problem? 5$" If it's not solved, then 0.5 :)
While high, I've paid far more for a significantly less capable VA in the past. I'd likely pay up to a $100.
ChatGPT is great but not that great. For work purposes when used to make money, perhaps. I wish they had a token option like with Dall-E.
I'm in one of the poorer European countries where 42$ is a lot of money.
Can someone explain a TL;DR of practical uses in software engineering for ChatGPT? I'm not looking for explanations of what is possible or the potential, just actual use cases where it helped solve a business problem.
It returned a perfectly working function.
I recently asked it to generate a Gitlac CI file to format, plan, and apply a Terraform plan.
It also produced most of what I needed.
I think its going to end up being a solid replacement for using Google and Stack Overflow for many people.
