I've never been asked to pay for using one of the aforementioned search engines. I have been asked to pay for OpenAI products.

So I don't see how you come to that conclusion.

The ones where you just claim that despite it being not true or which ones do you mean?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not true? Ahaha! Good job spreading misinformation!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well... as I said. OpenAI asks for money, search engines usually don't. Ergo, OpenAI is not free. (But freemium.)

Despite claiming that's not the case, you lack the necessary proof and don't seem to care about countering my argument with something of substance.

Such a discussion will not be fruitful if you are unwilling to deliver.

It's free, what else do you want?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

That you deliver reasons for why you claim I'm wrong.

It's freemium, not free. As I said before, OpenAI limits the number of prompts you can make per hour in case you don't want to pay. Also, using the API or ChatGPT 4 costs money. Users of search engines are usually not asked for money.
