Are you a customer?
- DANmode 10mo agoDon’t downvote because you don’t like the question. It obviously adds to the discussion: paid and non paid accounts are being conflated daily in threads like these! They’re not the same tier account! Free users, especially ones deemed less interesting to learn from for the future, are given table-scraps when they feel it’s necessary for load reasons.
- nineteen999 10mo agoExactly. There's an impedance mismatch between those using the free/cheap tiers and those paying a premium, so the discussion gets squirrely because one side is talking about apples and the other oranges.
- DANmode 10mo agoRight. More specifically: One side is talking about apples, and the other is talking about mushy old apples, that sometimes you need to wait 12 hours for.
- baobun 10mo agoAll user accounts are also customers. Some are paying with data and contributing to metrics going up.
- DANmode 10mo agoThat’s not how words work. All users are stakeholders. They’re emphatically not considered customers. We can disagree with that, create legal protections for those people - but that doesn’t make them customers to OpenAI, Anthropic, et al.
