There were rumors of a “pro plan” chat So far, with one user, Zahid Khawaja, showing off the capabilities of this premium version of the AI chatbot on Twitter. But now it’s official – and it’s called ChatGPT Plus.
In today’s blog post, the creator of ChatGPT Open AI (Opens in a new tab) confirmed that it will now offer a paid subscription version of the popular chatbot for $20 per month. ChatGPT Plus will only be available in the US for now, with plans to expand in the future. To sign up for the premium version of ChatGPT, you will need to join Waiting list (Opens in a new tab) And wait for OpenAI to offer you a subscription.
Here’s how ChatGPT Pro works! A lot of users were asking me for proof, so I decided to make a video. pic.twitter.com/QYNn3pRnxIJanuary 21, 2023
Looks like the “Professional Plan” was a precursor to the new ChatGPT Plus subscription. In his tweet, Khawaja showed screenshots from Open AI promising Pro users that ChatGPT would be, “available when demand is high,” have “faster response speed,” and provide “priority access to new features.” OpenAI promised these same perks almost word for word in their blog post announcing ChatGPT Plus.
OpenAI will keep the free version of ChatGPT it launched as a research preview available for users who don’t have ChatGPT Plus, though it’s unclear if performance will degrade now that Plus subscribers need to be prioritized by the AI.
ChatGPT Plus: How it can disrupt Google search
This news comes on the heels of Gmail’s creator Paul Bouchet He tweeted, “Google may only be a year or two away from total disruption. Artificial intelligence will eliminate the search engine results page, which is where they make most of their money.” Given that OpenAI has also announced plans for ChatGPT API queue), low-cost plans, business plans, and data bundles, it’s clear that the developer has its sights on ChatGPT to become a go-to source.
Google may only be a year or two away from a complete disruption. AI will kill the search engine results page, which is where they make most of their money, even if they catch up with AI, they can’t get it all out without destroying the most valuable part of their business! https://t.co/jtq25LXdkjDecember 1, 2022
But can it really destroy Google’s business model in just two years? While Buccheit’s comments can seem hyperbolic, there may be some substance to them. Buccheit believes that ChatGPT and AI could undermine Google Search’s market dominance, and even the need for the search engine results page entirely.
It makes no claim about the ability of AI to destroy, say, Google Pixel phones like the Google Pixel 7 Pro or the company’s Waymo self-driving car project. However, the money for these projects is largely supported by Google search – specifically Google search advertising revenue from the search engine results page.
In this case, Buccheit is onto something. New York times I mentioned recently that Google declared “code red” in terms of AI and now plans to integrate AI into search engine and chatbot features at a very accelerated pace. If true, it shows how afraid Google is of AI like ChatGPT threatening its business model.
In the end, neither Google Search nor ChatGPT is the perfect tool for every use case, even though we’d like to use both for everything. They both have things they excel at in general and when compared to the other. For example, as shared in Buchheit’s tweet thread, ChatGPT is the best resource for requests such as how to represent a differential equation in LaTeX scientific document preparation. However, when I asked him to find a restaurant (see above) he could not help me. Google, meanwhile, was able to do both, and in the event that I found a restaurant, was able to help me quickly.
Until AI like ChatGPT can compete for the things an everyday user needs — like finding a restaurant — Google will likely be safe. However, this moment is likely to come sooner rather than later, and if Google isn’t careful, its search business could definitely get in trouble.
