Often expenses like that are keeping your competitors away.
- onlyrealcuzzo 2y agoYes, but it typically doesn't matter if someone can reach parity or even surpass you - they have to surpass you by a step function to take a significant number of your users. This is a step function in terms of efficiency (which presumably will be incorporated into ChatGPT within months), but not in terms of end user experience. It's only slightly better there.
- ReptileMan 2y agoOne data point but my subscription for chatgpt is cancelled every time. So I made every month decision to resub. And because the cost of switching is essentially zero - the moment a better service is up there I will switch in an instant.
- onlyrealcuzzo 2y agoThere are obviously people like you, but I hope you realize this is not the typical user.
