Casey NewtonINBOX: OpenAI has just announced ChatGPT Plus, a $20/month service offering users guaranteed uptime and priority access to new features.
Available in the US only to start; users will be let in off a waitlist "in the coming weeks."

Jonathan Greene@caseynewton what is the practical use case today? I've dabbled and it's interesting but not 20/mo interesting. Feels a bit like Superhuman 30/mo gmail filtered mail
Grant McConnaughey@atmasphere @caseynewton I like using it to come up with blog post ideas, titles, and first drafts. Then I take what it outputs and spruce it up. Easily worth $20, considering hiring someone to do that stuff would cost hundreds/thousands.
@grantmc @caseynewton whoa first drafts … I can see that paying for itself.
Matt@caseynewton What use cases are they marketing this for? The limitations they listed seems like you can't safely use this without supervision anyways.
Tyson@caseynewton discovering this thing can give me a rough draft of VBA macros has been an eye opener for me. I don't know if that makes it worth any amount of money for a subscription but I am hoping it makes its way into Microsoft office at some point.
Felix@caseynewton what’s the difference between this and the 42usd/month?
