With OpenAI’s Release of GPT-4o, Is ChatGPT Plus Still Worth It?


While the newest AI model from OpenAI, GPT-4o, is available to users for free, ChatGPT Plus subscribers still get access to more prompts and the newest features.

Barret Zoph, a research lead at OpenAI, was recently demonstrating the new GPT-4o model and its ability to detect human emotions though a smartphone camera, when ChatGPT misidentified his face as a wooden table. Last year, when I tested a nascent version of ChatGPT’s web browsing capability, it had flaws but was powerful enough to make the subscription seem worthwhile for early adopters looking to experiment with the latest technology. “There's a lot of other exciting, future things to come as well.” Compared to non-subscribers, ChatGPT Plus subscribers are allowed to send GPT-4o five times as many prompts before having to wait or switch to a less powerful model.
