Every time I read this sort of sentiment on Lemmy I'm just totally confused. Have you actually worked with ChatGPT yet? Have you asked it to do things for you and given it very clear instructions like you would a new employee? I've been completely amazed by it. It has improved my productivity at work by probably 600%. It also helps me edit my emails for tone, and clarity, and can format shit that would take me hours in like half a second.

Everytime I read this sort of sentiment in a comment I'm just totally confused. Do you think Microsoft only looked at your usage for their reports?

Joining aside, No one is denying it works for you, but the article is suggesting that's not the same for all.

Haha, I thought that they were going to say "Of course demand is shrinking because OpenAI put a rate limit in for unpaid users"

I haven't used OprnAI directly yet. Earlier there were some programs that would access the API that you could use on mobile, I have used that. When you start an account now you get a certain amount of tokens to use. I have no idea how quickly I will go through the prompt tokens, so U haven't used it at all. I am waiting until I need to use it for something important.

Edit: Apparently the tokens are only for the API as another user has informed me.

Just in case is not clear for other people the token thing is just for the API. For using their website is unlimited as long as is GPT3 of course.

Oh, neat! I am really glad you made this comment, I was terrified I would burn through all my tokens and then be locked out without a subscription.

They must be trying to clamp down on those mobile apps that are essentially making miney off them as a 3rd party portal.
