Ahh man, I never once used chatgpt cause I have a brain. I wish I could cancel it just to be one more person to cancel, but I knew it was a scam when it came out years ago.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Why the fuck would anyone have a subscription to ChatGPT in the first place?
Even if you need or want to use an LLM, there are other models out there, better ones, and designed by companies that aren't as terrible.

I need one clarification : If I start using chatGPT like crazy, without a subscription, does this help (by making user numbers look good) or hinder (by burning computing resources for no revenue) the company ?

Let's pop that bubble!
"ChatGPT" subscription? What are you talking about?
How do I insert a "I'm doing my part" Starship Troopers gif here?
Why would I pay for a babbling idiot?
That's free every where, at any time.
It's me, okay? I'm the babbling idiot, don't need another
Holy shit do people subscribe to this?
Sorry but outside search and maybe in the background elsewhere I’ve never used it.
The average person has a completely different relationship with tech than people here. At Christmas I was shocked to find out how many of my family were daily AI users and the kids completely relied on it. Most of them are smart people, I wonder if that'll be the same in a few years.

The kind of people who want ChatGPT to fail probably never had a subscription in the first place.

Strike it down! Slaythe beast!
I just cancelled 👍🏽
Won’t it help if I make their AI work very hard without me giving them a cent?
Nope, they're still harvesting data from your chats while you boost their numbers which they can show to shareholders as proof-of-concept.
If the free version was that detrimental to their business model, they wouldn't be offering it.
Better if no one uses it.

I hope this is true, AI is going in a whole wrong direction.
