I phrased it that way because I think this kind of influence on our judgement is pervasive: we all have our "thumbs on the scale" when evaluating our own behavior. That's bias. But at some point it's not a "thumb

I had been using only GPT-4 through the API; you get more control over your experience, and only pay for what you actually use. But this would definitely make me consider popping $20/mo for the subscription.

In retrospect, such startups should have been wary: they should have known that OpenAI had Whisper, and also that GPT-4 was designed with image modality. I wouldn't say that OpenAI "telegraphed" their intentions, but the ver
