Lo, behold the wonders that hath transpired in the realm of Artificial Intelligence, as OpenAI hath unveiled GPT-4o unto the Free users. Verily, this doth signify that all may partake of the GPT-4-level intelligence without coinage. But ponder ye this, why should one continue to pay $20 monthly when such intelligence is freely bestowed upon all?
Methinks there are reasons aplenty to keep thy ChatGPT Plus subscription. Let us delve into the realms of these reasons.
1. More Access to GPT-4o
GPT-4o, the latest of OpenAI’s grand GPT models, is declared to be swifter than GPT-4 Turbo and more economical by half (when APIs are involved). Alas, Free users art not granted unrestricted passage to GPT-4o. Instead, they art bestowed with “limited access to GPT-4o.”
Herein lies the rub: GPT-4o now reigns as ChatGPT’s default model, yet Free users shall revert to GPT-3.5 in times of its absence. As a Free user, thy access to GPT-4o exists not with certainty but is subject to the whims of availability. The term “limited access” doth hint at usage constraints or decreased availability amid the peaks of demand.
‘Tis known that ChatGPT Plus subscribers shall receive up to fivefold more messages with GPT-4o. Furthermore, Plus users may dispatch as many as 80 messages every three hours. From this, one may infer that Free users might receive about 16 messages per hour on a fair day. ‘Tis not dire, yet ’tis somewhat scant for those who art prolific in their usage.
However, know ye this, the message rates at hand are the utmost thou shalt receive. As ChatGPT becometh the staff of support for myriad enterprises and individuals, methinks usage and availability shall likely wane—albeit fleetingly—in the days to come. Thus, ‘twould be prudent to possess a Plus subscription to safeguard against the surging throngs.
2. Retain Access to GPT-4 Turbo
Though benchmarks and trials suggest that GPT-4o may house greater celerity, GPT-4 Turbo doth exhibit more accuracy in certain spheres. The criteria for such discernment and the execution of these trials are shrouded in mystery, yet some hath attested to superior outcomes from GPT-4—especially in the realms of math and programming. Even OpenAI doth concede this fact, as per its assessment results, GPT-4T doth excel in DROP tests.
Should some arbitrary trials fail to sway thee, doth consider the bounty of additional prompts thou shalt receive from a sub. OpenAI doth permit 40 messages every three hours with GPT-4T and 80 messages with GPT-4o, granting thee a sum of 120 messages to dispatch to the GPT-4s within three hours.
3. Create Thy Own Custom GPT
OpenAI doth permit Free users to peruse the GPT store and wield custom GPTs as part of the complimentary package. However, this privilege doth not extend to the craft of custom GPTs.
‘Tis imperative to hold a Plus subscription if thou wishest to craft custom GPTs. The act of payment shall bestow upon thee the power to construct a custom GPT leveraging thine own data and documents, which may then be shared with comrades and fellows or freely unveiled on the marketplace.
In similar fashion, art the remaining points expounded upon in all their grandeur and import, for the world of ChatGPT is replete with marvels and decisions to be pondered. Wouldst thou venture forth as a Free user or bask in the opulence of a ChatGPT Plus subscription, embracing the vast horizons it doth unlock? The choice, dear reader, lies within thy hands.
