Even the free version feels smarter than most people. I use the free version, if I have some question about JavaScript, PHP, CSS and stuff.

OpenAI Launches $200/Month ChatGPT Pro Plan

I've been able to build a web app I’d have never been able to before. I've improved the efficiency in my business tenfold. I've managed to realise ideas I’ve had for years but without spending a fortune and communicating with a dev would never have been able to do.
I used it every single day - I’ve diagnosed many issues and problems, solved dilemmas, worked on legal cases (and won) with it- I’ve managed to automate lots of tedious parts of my life and work. I've researched projects I’ve got ideas for that I’d never been able to get the starting basis and information for from Google alone.
I'm glad that so many people either hate it or can't figure out what to do with it as it's enabling me to create and do things before it's obvious to everyone else.
I haven't tried it myself, but nerds on Reddit seem to agree o1 isn't significantly better than Claude, which happens to be much cheaper.
I have a question for you, and will keep it to one item:
OpenAI buys 100 books on a subject, and puts an AI to work on what these 100 books contain.
Then the AI is able to offer help to others (for a fee) using this information from these purchased books.
I also buy the same 100 books, and study them to get the information from the books into my brain.
Then I am able to offer to help others (for a fee) using the information from these purchased books.
Are you happy with both of these scenario's being fair and acceptable?
Some people feel its fair. Some people don't think it's fair.
Having had it since Friday I think the pro plan is more about the no limit usage vs o1 pro being super accurate - its just as arbitrary in ignoring tasks as regular o1, like I'll give it a swift file and tell it to write tests, it'll do a first run that's somehow wrong, there will be back and forth and then then it'll get the next version correct but only right stubs for the tests w/no assertions, its annoying AF.
Windows at least is free (more or less). Yes, you pay with your data, but let's be honest, on ChatGPT it's not very different. Also you can tweak your windows to block any outgoing stuff to M$.
ChatGPT can be free too. There are free versions of both ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot but there are also paid versions.
ChatGPT = free
ChatGPT Plus = $20/month
ChatGPT Pro = $200/month
ChatGPT Team = $25 to $30/month per user
Microsoft Copilot = free
Microsoft Copilot Pro = $20/month
Microsoft 365 Copilot (for business/enterprise) = $30/month per user
I wouldn't consider a product free if you have a lot of unnecessary and useless restrictions to basically force people to buy plus/pro....

10 years ago I decided to dedicate my life to a future of machine super intelligence and brain computer interfaces. I already had a bachelor of arts in management and operations, with honors, and an MBA where I had focused on energy economics and clean technology. Upon this foundation, I enrolled in chemistry 101 at my local community college then went on to certify into the chemical engineering program at the state university. I graduated with a bachelor of science in bioengineering, with honors, and began a PhD in machine learning applied to cancer genomics where I am now in year 6. I have been working in Vision Pro MacOS virtual display since February 2024 and have had Gemini Advanced and GPT-Plus subscriptions since days one.
I instantly upgraded to GPT-Pro and it ***** rocks. The first prompt was uploading an erroneous shell script with a nested bash loop that passes three args to a SLURM script that in-turn calls an R script for parallel deployment of feature selection on a scientific cluster. It solved the multiple errors simultaneously.
The next prompt was to describe the information theory principle of a sub-sampling framework applied to feature selection for cancer subtype prediction. It perfectly outlined the concept of empirically estimating the stability and consistency of mutual information signal between candidate features and phenotype across varying degrees of data abundance.

Windows is not free. The costs are just opaque. I made a lot of money over the last 30 years charging by the hour to fix things for people (right down to writing NT kernel drivers)
At the same time, it couldn't do a second derivative of something a monkey could do with a crayon made out its own poop.
I hope not to see you on Retraction Watch one day
Most ChatGPT users are probably content with just the free plan. Same is true with MS Copilot but both have advanced options that require a paid subscription starting at $20/month.
As far as ChatGPT Pro is concerned, I don't think Copilot currently offers anything at any price that matches its advanced capabilities.
Thanks; I hope not too. My first paper was published last week:At the same time, it couldn't do a second derivative of something a monkey could do with a crayon made out its own poop.

This derivative-solving monkey, is it one of the telepathic Neuralink macaques?
Congratulations. I'll sit down with my daughter (biochemistry researcher) and read it next week.
I suspect they are mostly more concerned about their evolutionary pressures: food and lady monkeys.
