‘Nothing is changing’ — Reddit is denying a report from The Washington Post that it might force users to log in to see content if it can’t reach deals with AI companies::Reddit initially denied a report from The Washington Post that it might force users to log in to see content. However, the Post says it may still block search crawlers, and Reddit didn’t deny to The Verge that it may do so.
people talk about how big AI is but, It’ll crash like everything else as enshittification hits. I tried to use Bing AI the other day for the first time in a few months, it didn’t even let me do more then a handful of entries before locking me out saying I used too many queries in 24h. How is that supposed to be helpful to a consumer as a valid feature of you lock it down.
Yeah, hasn’t anyone else noticed that there hasn’t been a single profitable product to come out of it? Even copilot is biting the dust already as they try to reduce computing costs. I also haven’t heard of a single person actually paying for chatgpt access either…
There are a lot of companies using ChatGPT believe me. Plus some users are also paying for getting access to GPT4. I am also using it a lot. It helps but it is not exactly the silver bullet to everything and you should always check what the result is because sometimes it is complete garbage.
Yes, but it is not profitable for it to run like this. I would speculate that payed users are the vast minority.
I paid 20 bucks plus VAT last week for a month of access to try the new dalle in chatgpt, it has just dropped.
I and many of my coworkers pay for ChatGPT. It’s super useful at work and can be used to save a considerable amount of time.
Those companies learned their lesson from search engines. They gave it away for free for far too long and with too few strings attached. It became impossible to realistically gate features and charge for them.
But chatbots, on the other hand, just need a little big money razzle dazzle and, boom, now it is AI and people are conditioned to accept any limits thrown at them.
Google made a very profitable ad business fromt heir search engine.
