>But actually trying out these features for yourself—or at least the ones that have already been publicly released—does not come cheap. Unlike ChatGPT, which captivated the world because it was free, GPT-4 is currently only available to non-developers through a premium service that costs $20 a month.

So, you need to pay to access GPT-4. Ok.

I'd love to comment on the rest of the article, but The Atlantic won't let me see it unless I subscribe.

I used to read the Atlantic every day. Then they went soft paywall so I read it in private-mode. Now they're hard paywall so I read other sites. I miss it, but I'm not adding on to the pile of subscriptions I already have.

This is really why I use Reddit. I hit a paywall, then just go to comments for the actual story, plus discussion.

Not likely clickbait, but everybody and their dog are trying to write articles on AI right now, and many are shite, or at best premature.

I wonder when we can get chat GPT 5 to say “hey summarize the main points of the recent Atlantic article on chat GPT”

GPT 4 is not worth it right now. It takes too long. Also you can only ask like 20 questions per hour to the GPT 4, but gpt 3 has no limit and is fast enough to be useable.

Yeah, I'm not paying to read that Atlantic article. But if anyone has trouble ponying up $20 a month (... giving up one latte a week, basically) for GPT-4, to be on the bleeding-edge of this new technology... you must not be very curious, or not in tech.

Anyway, even the free version is a revelation.

Do I think that I, as a member of the great unwashed, am somehow owed cos GPT scraped up information that's already been publicly available? Fuck no. ChatGPT already is a huge value-add for its ability to take common language queries, and its speed, and precision of the results.
