OpenAI offers ChatGPT subscription plan for $20 per month

OpenAI is launching a paid subscription version of its artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT.

The new subscription service will be called ChatGPT Plus and will have a monthly fee of $20, the company announced on Wednesday. The subscription includes access to the chatbot during peak usage hours. The current free version limits the service for users during periods of high usage.

Subscribers also get early access to new features and improvements, as well as faster chatbot response times.

The new subscription program will be available first in the United States in the coming weeks and then expand to other countries, OpenAI said in a statement on its website. Interested users can sign up for a waitlist on the subscription service, the company said.

ChatGPT allows users to input questions to the bot and receive written answers powered by artificial intelligence. It can even write poetry and essays. Some industry observers have said that ChatGPT could offer a potential alternative to current search engines in the future, although the company said the program’s results often contained factual errors.
