I usually hate when people drop platitudes like "iF yoU doN't lIkE doN't pAy", but this is the first time I've really felt that. ChatGPT is offering a lot more than $20 worth of compute to a lot of people. If you find it low value, I don't think you're going to like it when this stuff starts costing what it really should, so I'd say just stop paying for it.

I don't doubt that; I think my issue is centred around reliability and outputs though, not outputs alone. If it was more reliable I don't think I'd be concerned at all. Having so many outages and limitations makes me hesitant to support the company if this is what we're in for, if that makes sense. I also believe we're in a sort of training phase, both for GPT as well as its users. As such, we're giving the engineers are time and efforts in order for them to improve the product in essential ways – not only getting benefits from its outputs. I see that as a good reason for it to be as discounted as it is at the moment, but I don't feel like it's acceptable for the service itself to be so intermittent. I fully expect the price of successful AI products to scale with how useful and essential there are; I know $20 is intro pricing. I suspect we will begin to see highly specialized models pricing orders of magnitude higher in the coming years.
