    I didn’t either but would still use the free one from time to time.

    Easy enough to switch to Gemini or Claude or whatever.

      If we weren’t already boiling the oceans, I’d say that you should continue to use the free tier. A lot. Drive up their costs as much as possible without giving them any revenue by constantly asking it to generate useless crap.

        No, that’s a bad idea. They literally make up their economics. They don’t care abo about money, because they’ll just keep borrowing more and more of it. Just look at their behaviour over the last three years.

        What they really want is usage go up and in turn their power they have over their userbase. You using their product to generate useless crap at best just waists power and water. At worst the AI will give a a psychological complex.

        It won’t hurt their bottom line, trust me. You can only loose.

          And data collection. People think they’re good if they just don’t give it personal info but you’re definitely being fingerprinted and tracked. If they haven’t already they’ll eventually partner with meta or google (in the case of Gemini that’s obviously already done) to match any fingerprinting to much denser profiling. Plus they’re designed in a way to encourage you to let your guard down and talk casually, which disarms you and makes it more likely you mention identifying info they can’t determine from IP and fingerprinting.

          OpenAI has already added advertisement so this is definitely occurring. No one buys ads in this day and age without robust audience targeting

            Well, continual usage doesn’t really help with fingerprinting. They already got that.

            I’d say, if you’re going to do this (you shouldn’t) the prompts should be fed by another LLM, and just let them create garbage together. I’m sure OpenAI likely uses user prompts for training, so this fucks up their training data.

          Yeah this is all Dot Com 1.0 bubble economics bullshit. How soon they forget.
