You are paying, the same way you paid for stack overflow.. you become part of the process, ask follow up questions, deepening the knowledge of the system.

The same applies to AI. The old learning material is gone, your interaction is now the new learning material and ground truth.

PS: Hourly rates for sw engineers: Range:€11 - €213 - so one hour on stackoverflow, searching and sub-querying resolving problems costs you or your employer up to 213€. It really depends on what you have negotiated.

And unlike Stack Overflow, which is available to everyone online and has an open content license, the IP the users of the ChatGPT style services is entirely proprietary to the company. I am not interested in feeding their machine with my brainpower. On the other hand, I happily contribute to Stack Overflow, and open source software+hardware. I do not think I will integrate LLM into my engineering workflow until there is a good service/solution which builds up the commons. The huge companies already have way too much influence over key aspects of knowledge-based society.

Every month, every update, every week, every contract change, every day - the setting is in another menu, in another castle, the setting is a princess, kiss the button, the button is now on, now off, is now dark patterned, now it isn't, deliver proof of work to set the setting, solve 1 captcha, solve 20.. come on.. its rodeo time.

You know you can just turn off "Improve the model for everyone" in the settings, right?
