ChatGPT, the chatbot that popularized generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems, will have a paid version. ChatGPT Plus will cost $20 per month and will improve the features of the original tool, which will still be free.
Those who pay the subscription will get three benefits. First, they will be able to access the chatbot even at peak usage. The tool’s success has resulted in it doing poorly during certain hours of the day due to the number of people connected; Power users will no longer have to wait for rush hour to pass.
Second, subscribers will also get faster service, as detailed on the website of Open AI, the company developing the tool. And third, they will have access to “new functions and improvements” that will be gradually integrated into the service. They don’t refer to it, but they may be referring to GPT-4, the new version of AI on which this tool is based.
The ChatGPT payment service will only be available to users in the US, though the company plans to add it to new countries in the coming weeks. Only those who signed up for the waitlist that the company opened a few weeks ago on Discord will have access to this release.
“We love having non-paying users, and will continue to offer free access to ChatGPT. A subscription will allow us to contribute so that the free version remains available to as many people as possible,” the developers note.
ChatGPT’s success among the general public has led to movements in companies. Microsoft was one of the first to move on. If last week it announced a $10,000 million investment in OpenAI, of which it was already a partner, to improve the tool, yesterday it revealed that Teams Premium, the paid version of its corporate collaboration work app, will integrate ChatGPT.
This service, available for $7 per month, allows users to automatically create meeting notes, personalized presentations, and other tasks, such as real-time translation for video call participants.
