chatGPT pro is $200. Is it worth it?

ChatGPT Pro just launched at a $200 monthly subscription.

Here's why it's not for everyone:

OpenAI has taken a massive step with ChatGPT Pro.

Mostly it targets hyper-engaged users and researchers.

If you're into hard math, science, or programming, this is for you.

BUT if you are NOT into this - it will be a waste of your resources.

The difference is NOT huge. Premium users still get o1 model.

So, what does Pro offer?

1. Unlimited Access
↳ Unlimited access to the o1 model and GPT-4o.

2. Increased Compute Power
↳ Tackle complex tasks with the new o1 pro mode.

3. Enhanced Features
↳ Benefit from Advanced Voice Mode and more. (same as premium)

This is what Sam Altman is saying:

almost everyone will be best-served by our free tier or the $20/month plus tier.

a small percentage of users want to use chatgpt a TON and hit rate limits, and want to pay more for more intelligence on really hard problems. the $200/month tier is good for them!

It COULD be a game-changer for those wanting to analyse data or program with AI.

With a full year costing $2,400, it's not for everyone. But for those eager to explore AI's potential, this is a compelling offer.

Remember: The traditional ChatGPT Plus remains at $20/month and offers great value for most.
Expect more announcements from OpenAI in the next 12 days, and keep an eye out for what's next, including the so awaited Sora model.

✨ Does 10x price increase also means 10x value? The answer is - probably not.
