JAKARTA - OpenAI is reluctant to give free access to its phenomenal chatbot forever. Where the startup was earlier this month looking for ways to monetize ChatGPT. Even a user has seen how much it costs.

Dubbed the Professional ChatGPT, some users say they have been given access to that level of the pro at a cost of 42 US dollars for IDR 627 thousand per month.

According to screenshots from one of the ChatGPT Professional users, he gets a faster response, more reliable access and priority access to new features. Given that the initial ChatGPT trial program is often slow, likely with the presence of this Pro level, OpenAI offers better users.

Even so, OpenAI has not officially confirmed whether the price is valid for all users. Moreover, features and prices can change before the Professional ChatGPT is actually launched.

As OpenAI said earlier this month, "Please remember that this is a changeable initial experimental program, and we don't make paid pro access publicly available today," he said.

Furthermore, a developer working on the AI project, Zahid Khawaja also shared a video where ChatGPT works on desktop and mobile. Seen, the system responds faster than the free version.

But according to The Verge, Tuesday, January 24, many users objected to the price. "I really want to pay for a package but 42 (US dollars) are too much," said one user.

As the last comment giver noted, it is clear that a user's assessment of any price will depend on their need to use the service. But many hope the free rate should stay and keep features that are more or less the same as the professional version.

For information, the AI chatbot market has exploded quite recently this year, even Google is worried that the technology made by OpenAI will weaken its business. Meanwhile, Microsoft plans to integrate ChatGPT into its Bing and Office Suite.
