True, but we're not talking about "the vast majority of humans on the planet", we're talking about the sort of person who plays around with Nix - who can probably afford gpt4's $0.03 / 1K tokens.
But I absolutely agree with your 2nd point!
- h0p3 3y agoI understand that claim. I'll agree the vast majority of Nix users I've encountered could likely afford to use ChatGPT-4 if they wanted. As to our domain of discourse, I'm here to speak about what we owe to all people, and I'm not here to make that assumption about our interlocutor. Maybe you know our interlocutor, but I don't think your standalone quote is a morally appropriate argument with a stranger. Setting aside those who might be the sort to possibly play with nix who haven't, I've also met people who have played with nix but cannot afford ChatGPT-4, or don't have access to pay for it. There really may be good reasons our interlocutor hasn't tried ChatGPT-4, and I think your joke can be easily misinterpreted as a flippant response or a putdown. I appreciate the meme though. You're correct about the vast difference in ability between ChatGPT-4 and every other model the public can access.
- dmd 3y agoYou keep saying “chatgpt-4”; I wonder if you’re aware that you don’t need to pay $20 a month (which is what that costs) to use gpt4. If you use it through the API instead, even a fairly heavy user comes out to a dollar or two a month.
- h0p3 3y agoI understand one can pay to use APIs to various models offered by OpenAI. API use with maximum context does add up for significant users. It does cost something, and not everyone can pay that cost.
