When chatting with the first came out, all the rage was about how you could punch anything into chat GPT, use it hideously for any purpose no matter how silly or inconsequential, but you could also use it for serious things as well. For example you could ask it a question and it would search the web or search its databases and provide you a detailed response about some topic. Now, chat GPT gives you almost nothing. I asked it three questions today, very simple questions. One of them was about inkjet printers, literally two sentences. Another question I asked was about a cooking recipe. Third question, it refused to answer and gave me this bogus response that I have run out of responses and that I should subscribe…

Claude is apparently in the same boat right now. After I unsubscribed for Claude pro because of it being a true waste of money, I was able to get maybe one or two questions out of Claude a day, and most of the time I can’t ask at any questions because they are at capacity supposedly

So it’s kind of funny. AI is committing mass theft of copyrighted information and data on a widespread scale, the only way they are going to be able to train their AI models and have been training their AI models are through free information that has been taken from users, people of the world, sold to them by third parties. And now, you can no longer use AI for free! You have to pay for the information that they took from you for free, and likely copyright information that they shouldn’t have had to begin with…

    What do people expect? Those servers aren’t free to run and they’re is only so much VC money to burn. That said I wouldn’t pay the various subscription levels that are currently being asked for. I pay for API use which is basically pay as you go. It also makes you think “does this task really need the non-free tier to complete?”.
