This is the reason why they have started a subscription plan.
ChatGPT Plus is a pilot subscription plan for ChatGPT. It offers availability even when demand is high, faster response speed, and priority access to new features.
I agree the other AI content writers that are free are not as good as OPEN AI but if you know the trick then you can create content just like a human writer. I have seen many papers submitted to me and I would not say that I was able to catch everyone but I know how things are after these AIs have been released.
I forked someone's ChatGPT cli (which I put at
https://github.com/ZenulAbidin/gptchat) about a month ago, and I've been using that to run the Davinci-003 model, and because of that, I can still access it even when ChatGPT is down. I don't know why it's called ChatGPT if it's just using davinci-003 to be honest, but it does magic for me. I've used it to write multiple scripts to parse several different data distributions like tzdata and the CLDR, for example. It can also document programming language classes.
It's not using ChatGPT but speaks a lot similar to it. I can't really tell them apart.
My January bill for my Davinci bot was $10 - half the price of ChatGPT Plus. So I think I got a very good bargain by making my own API key and moving past ChatGPT.
