alt Hacker NewsI'd be interested to know how many people around here pay for ChatGPT. Is it common? I would have thought technical people would be choosing AI tools other than chatGPT. So you use it mainly for coding? Or are you chatting with it and doing all those "fun" things?
We are developing with agents and tools with these technologies, so full immersion is a necessity. There's so much going on it is almost impossible to stay on top of it.
Regarding paying for access, for me it is about a combination of reasons. I want to support their efforts and that of others, so we have paid accounts where possible. Beyond that, it is about being up to date on the state of the art. Some of it is paid, and some is FOSS.
