> chat GPT, and for a while Midjourney are FREE

They are free for now. Eventually OpenAI will no longer be able to subsidize the compute costs of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 for everybody... But yes, let's enjoy GPT-4 at cheap prices while we still can. I don't think we'll be able to in the near future.

I've been interested in a while in running some AI models locally, but ironically, I'd need to purchase a $3,000 computer to do so, and consider the steep hikes to my electricity bill as I run that machine.

MS have put it in Bing. Google will catch up and put it in google search.

I will happily pay whatever OpenAI charge to not have ads

It’s just too useful not to

Midjourney is the same. Saves soooooooo much time. It pays for itself for the month in a day
