My hot take is that it will probably follow the Netflix model of pricing once the VC money wants to turn on the profit switch.
Originally Netflix was a single tier at $9.99 with no ads. As ZIRP ended and investors told Netflix its VC-like honeymoon period was over - ads were introduced at $6.99 and the basic no ad tier went to $15.99 and the Premium went to 19.99.
Currently Netflix ad supported is $7.99, add free is $17.99 and Premium is $24.99.
Mapping that on to OpenAI pricing - ChatGPT will be ~$17.99 for ad supported, ~$49.99 for ad free and ~$599 for Pro.

- warkdarrior 1y agoLikely ChatGPT's answers will be slightly modified to mention (in the right context) references to their advertisers. It will be subtle, non-obvious.
