🤖 The Future of Chat GPT: Free Access and Paid Plan Comparison

The video discusses the recent announcement by Open AI that Chat GPT 4 will be free for everyone. It raises the question of whether there's still a need to pay for a Chat GPT Plus plan. The host mentions a live stream by Open AI that covered major updates, including the free tier access to GPT 3.5. The free tier offers data analysis, file uploads, browsing, and using GPT's vision and chat capabilities, but with limitations on the number of messages that can be sent within a three-hour window. The video also addresses the drawbacks of the free tier, such as the inability to create custom GPTs, which are essential for users who need specific tasks performed by a tailored GPT version. The incentive for the Plus plan includes access to the GPT store, the ability to create personal GPTs, and a higher message limit compared to the free plan. Additional benefits of the Plus plan are early access to new features and the potential for revenue generation through the GPT store, although the specifics of this are still unclear. The host also mentions the desktop app for enhanced functionality.

Keywords

💡Chat GBT

Chat GBT refers to a chatbot technology, which in this context is likely a mispronunciation or typo for 'Chat GPT', standing for 'Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer'. This technology is used to create interactive AI chatbots capable of human-like conversation. In the video's theme, Chat GBT 4 is highlighted as being free for everyone, which is a significant update for users who may have been paying for access to previous versions.

💡Open AI

Open AI is a research lab that focuses on developing artificial intelligence technologies. In the script, Open AI is mentioned as the organization that has announced the free availability of Chat GBT 4, indicating that they are the ones behind this AI technology. The video discusses whether it is still necessary to pay for a Chat GBT Plus plan given this new development.

💡Free tier

The free tier refers to the basic level of service that is provided at no cost. In the context of the video, the free tier of Chat GBT now includes access to data analysis, file uploads, and the use of Chat GBT itself. This is a significant change as it allows more people to use the technology without financial barriers.

💡GPT store

The GPT store appears to be a marketplace or platform where users can discover and potentially create their own 'GBTs', which are likely AI models or applications built using the GPT technology. The video mentions that free users will have access to the GPT store but will not be able to create their own GBTs, which is a limitation compared to the Plus plan.

💡Custom GBTs

Custom GBTs refer to personalized AI models or chatbots that users can create to perform specific tasks. The script mentions that while free users can access the GPT store, they cannot create their own custom GBTs, which is a feature reserved for those on the Plus plan. This suggests a level of customization and personalization that is not available for free.

💡Plus plan

The Plus plan is a subscription service that offers additional features and benefits beyond the free tier. In the video, the Plus plan is contrasted with the free tier, with the script discussing the advantages of the Plus plan, such as the ability to create custom GBTs and access to more messages within a given time frame.

💡Message limits

Message limits refer to the restrictions on the number of messages a user can send to the AI within a certain time period. The script indicates that free users will be more limited in the number of messages they can send compared to Plus plan subscribers, who receive 80 messages every 3 hours on GBT 4 and 40 messages on GBT 4.0.

💡Early Access

Early Access is a privilege that allows users to try out new features or products before they are released to the general public. In the context of the video, Plus plan subscribers are mentioned to have early access to new features, such as the recently released desktop app, which is not available to free users.

💡Desktop app

The desktop app is a software application designed to be installed on a user's device, as opposed to being accessed through a web browser. The script mentions a new desktop app released by Open AI, which Plus plan subscribers have early access to, suggesting additional functionality and convenience over the web application.

💡DALL-E

DALL-E is an AI model developed by Open AI that is capable of generating images from textual descriptions. The script mentions that there is no indication that free users can create DALL-E images for free, suggesting that this feature may also be limited to Plus plan subscribers.
