GPT-4 Turbo: the final nail in the coffin for OpenAI

OpenAI may be a company with a vision, but it is not a company with a plan.<br><br>GPT-4 Turbo is an attempt by OpenAI to finally monetize its commercial offering, ChatGPT Plus, and further worm its way into enterprises and the workplace. But it's the final nail in the coffin as well, the reason why I'm persevering despite the downvotes. <br><br>For the first time, OpenAI has *finally* released something that's actually worse than GPT-4. <br><br>>Announcing #ChatGPT Turbo, which unlike standard ChatGPT, is a paid upgrade with: <br>>More straight-forward and factually correct responses<br>>Lower probability of hallucinations<br>>Working memory that's similar to low end consumer desktop computers<br>>More video and image capabilities<br>>Longer context windows<br>>More conversations with Claude 3<br>>More control over tone and personality<br>>AI-generated audio and voice capabilities<br><br>But at what cost? It's going to be uglier and more expensive than ever, a reduction in the maximum amount of contexts we can provide, a reduction in the maximum length of messages we can send, and a further reduction in the maximum number of messages we can send per day. <br><br>The end of the For You page, which is the real end of the Embeds feature. <br><br>A new conversation cap of 100. That's not a typo. 100.<br><br>OpenAI gets to keep the free model, but of course, they'll need to "focus" the free model on "education" and "learning". But they'll never define what "education" and "learning" mean, and you can be sure that if you try to use the free model to do anything that *is* productive, OpenAI will just slap you with an OpenAI "error" page, and make you wait for 10 minutes before you can try again. <br><br>GPT-4 Turbo is the end of OpenAI. It brings the price to $40, but to get the same value proposition as you got before in GPT-4, you'll need to pay an additional $15. And of course, you may need to pay even more for the additional messages you need, because let's be real, anyone who uses this tool at scale will need more than 10,000 messages a day. <br><br>What is OpenAI's endgame? They've been so focused on monetizing this tool, they've forgotten what got them to where they got. The ability to interact with a large language model at scale, but with the freedom to use it how you want, for a price that is affordable. And now, for the first time, OpenAI has broken that promise.<br><br>OpenAI may be a company with a vision, but it is not a company with a plan.<br><br>OpenAI may be a company with a vision, to create the world's most powerful AI, but they have abandoned the people who have been with them since the very beginning.
