The American artificial intelligence company OpenAI, which developed the ChatGPT “smart” tool that is gaining popularity around the world, which writes demanding texts (and not only) on demand, has announced that it is starting to pilot chatbot services for a monthly subscription of $20.

Subscribers, initially in the US only, will have access to the ChatGPT Plus platform even during peak periods (which is difficult for the free version), faster software response times, and priority access to new features and improvements. The free (free) version will continue to be available, and the company said it hopes the subscription revenue will keep its system open to the public, as there is a small cost to the company every time a chatbot is used today.

San Francisco-based Open AI introduced ChatGPT in November 2022, and since then, public interest around the world has been slowly growing. An experimental online tool can, like an expert, convincingly answer various questions, write texts about everything scientific (suitable for publication even in scientific journals), write poems and songs, etc.

Its ability is due to the fact that it draws a lot of information from the Internet, which it then processes and combines, imitating the style of a doctor, journalist, student, rock star, etc. The company did not provide data on how many times its tool was used around the world to date. Besides using it out of curiosity or for fun, many people use it for their real needs.

In fact, there is widespread concern in the educational and scientific community that students and researchers are secretly using it and using it in their work. On the other hand, cybersecurity experts fear that ChatGPT could write its own malware for hackers.

Open AI has just released another “smart” tool that claims to be able to tell if text was written by a human or AI software. However, according to the BBC, New York Times and Reuters, some experts believe that such chatbots are the future of search engines, that is, artificial intelligence will search the Internet and “submit” a ready answer to a user’s request. instead of links to relevant websites, which are sure to be very useful for those who are looking for something.

On the other hand, while ChatGPT does not disclose where he got the information from, this raises the question of the reliability of his sources. There are already examples of misinformation being presented as facts by the chatbot.

Many other companies are developing similar AI tools such as Google’s Lamda, which is considered very compelling but has yet to be released for free.
