ChatGPT+ is so very ridiculously valuable I'm shocked people still complain about it costing $20 a month. I would still pay for ChatGPT+ at $200 a month because it saves me so much time. If you're a knowledge worker in a modern economy, I can all but guarantee you're penny-wise but pound-foolish not paying for it. I think this is proof no matter how little you charge people, they will always complain -- so ignore the complaints and increase your prices. "Hey do you want an AI assistant more knowledgeable than any human?" "Yes!" "Will you pay $20 for it?" "NOOO!!"

But, you can get API access for GTP 4.x and use it in your own workflows. And those workflows may contain tooling and info which you can't provide at ChatGPT. Maybe it's still worth paying $20 / month for, but I also haven't used ChatGPT for months.

This is a non sequitur. The comment you're responding to isn't complaining about having to pay, or about the amount being too high. It's complaining about having to pay without knowing what you're even getting.

If you are not paid for being a computer geek - for example, if you are a very interested teenager, or an underprivileged adult, who loves playing with these things but has $0 budget - then the very fact there is a price for entry is a hard to surmount barrier. So while I am happy to pay my $20 a month, I can sympathise with those for whom it might as well be $200 a month given their ability to pay up.

> If you're a knowledge worker in a modern economy, I can all but guarantee you're penny-wise but pound-foolish not paying for it. It's pretty common for companies to forbid employees to put any company data in those tools. So then you can't use it for work anyway.
