This is the real question. Is she willing to pay $20 per month when Google's Gemini is free? Google can remain irrational longer than OAI can remain solvent.
Even in the context of the original quote the price is only "irrational" in the eyes of the person trying (and failing) to play the market. "But you can't do that, that doesn't make any sense!" spoken by a person who has failed to fully grasp the situation.
But you can bet there was more economic foresight going on at Google than OpenAI.
- Atrocious mobile application
- Gemini web somehow consumes GIGABYTES of memory doing absolutely NOTHING
- No projects
- UX is terrible (want to remove that a autogenerated diagram at the top? No button for you, fucker, good luck finding the conversation it belongs to)
- No shopping mode
- mobile application loses context mid conversation or when continuing from web/mobile
- model itself is a hot garbage, even the pro variants:
* Switches to Chinese mid sentence on a trivial topic (Python subprocessing)
* Uses Russian propaganda videos as a source
* Completely ignores instructions
* Default prompt is garbage and you constantly have to hand hold it to get proper answers
