Advertising? Who's going to click on advertising that doesnt do it now? Subscription? Its useful but how many people will pay a sub for it, its not netflix or porn. Licensing maybe? Incorporating it into other products but the competion is going to be intense so prices will drop or they'll have to be the best.

This isnt going to be the moneymaker people think it will be..

I'm a programmer, and I pay a subscription for GPT-4 because it's ridiculously worth it.

I'm curious, what do you do that you don't think GPT-4 is worth it?

It might be worth it for you, but how many people like you are there in the market? Not many I suspect. Most wont be able to afford it or will go for free options.

Since we're both not providing data, I'd be interested in hearing your personal experience on this (if it's not too much of a bother, feel free not to respond!):

What do you do for a living, and do you find GPT-4 helpful for it?

I suspect as soon as top management realizes how useful it can be on all levels there will me mass subscriptions from companies. Of course OpenAI needs to convince it's safe and secure. New dark mode will help.
