I have been using GPT since the inception of GPT-2.

You're correct, I should have specified. I rarely if ever use GPT-3.5. I have 7 paid / premium accounts, and I primarily use GPT-4.

> ChatGPT on GPT-3.5? I can buy this. GPT-4? No fucking way. If Claude got anywhere close, this would be front page news in every tech and tech-adjacent outlet.

Have you compared both? For my use case of generating & modifying simple code & Q&A based off of docs claude is in a similar range to GPT-4 & you can pay as you go instead of 20 bucks a month.

GPT-4 is "pay as you go" too if you use it via API. I haven't compared the prices though - for my use cases, which are mostly ad-hoc and manual, the cost doesn't add up to anything particularly noticeable.

OpenAI does this disservice to themselves by paywalling GPT-4 and not 3.5, under the umbrella of "ChatGPT".
