Will people really pay $200 a month for OpenAI’s new chatbot?


OpenAI has released a pricey new chatbot. At $200, it's the most expensive in its category. So, will people pay for it?

Image Credits: OpenAIOpenAI ran a “stricter” evaluation on the same benchmarks to showcase o1 pro mode’s consistency: the model was only considered to have solved a question if it got the answer right four out of four times. Image Credits: OpenAIOpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who once wrote that OpenAI was on a path “towards intelligence too cheap to meter,” was forced to clarify multiple times on Thursday that ChatGPT Pro isn’t for most people. Nor do vague statements about how the model can “think longer” and demonstrate “intelligence.” As Willison point out, without specific examples of this supposedly improved capability, it’s hard to justify paying more at all, let alone ten times the price.
