Why? I paid for Claude for a while, but with Deepseek, Gemini and the free hits on Mistral, ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity I'm not sure why I would now. This is anecdotal of course, but I'm very rarely unique in my behaviour. I think the best the subscription companies can hope for is that their subscribers don't realize that Deepseek and Gemini can basically do all you need for free.
- poormathskills 1y ago>I'm very rarely unique in my behaviour I cannot stress this enough: if you know what Deepseek, Claude, Mistral, and Perplexity are, you are not a typical consumer. Arguably, if you have used a single one of those brands you are not a typical consumer. The vast majority of people have used ChatGPT and nothing else, except maybe clicking on Gemini or Meta AI by accident.
- qcic 1y agoI doubt it. Google is shoving Gemini on everyone’s face through search, and Meta AI is embedded in every Meta product. Heck, instagram created a bot marketplace. They might not “know” the brand as well as ChatGPT, but the average consumer has definitely been exposed to those at the very least. DeepSeek also made a lot of noise, to the point that, anecdotally, I’ve seen a lot of people outside of tech using it.
