Now that the world has been exposed to the sheer scope of OpenAi’s ChatGPT, the company has released a statement saying that they are planning to monetise the service. OpenAI may create a payment plan that is geared toward working professionals, allowing them to use its myriad services to enhance their professional output.
The company’s announcement says “We’re starting to think about how to monetize ChatGPT (early thinking, nothing official to share yet). Our goal is to continue improving and maintaining the service, and monetization is one way we’re considering to ensure its long-term viability. We’re interested in chatting with some folks for ~15 min to get some early feedback. If you’re interested in chatting, please fill out this form (takes ~10 min to fill out).”
What is ChatGPT Professional?
ChatGPT Professional is stated to be the monetised version of the app. One you click the link the company has shared, you will be taken to a waitlist that will eventually allow you to access the app. The form asks people what they would use it for, and how much they would be willing to pay.
The company elaborates “If you are selected, we’ll reach out to you to set up a payment process and a pilot. Please keep in mind that this is an early experimental program that is subject to change, and we are not making paid pro access generally available at this time.”
Will there still be a free version of ChatGPT?
The company has not made any promises about keeping the service free, so we can expect the whole thing to eventually become monetised. Or, they may offer a free service that has limited capabilities (or limited searches).
