ChatGPT has been the target of dubious apps that seek to charge for professional versions of artificial intelligence and end up creating malware in virtual stores. However, it appears that creating signatures for the technology is indeed close at hand. A few weeks ago, OpenAI announced that it was exploring ways to monetize the chatbot.
Some users who had access to the premium plan claim that the monthly subscription would cost US$42 (R$218). But so far, the company has not officially commented on the price or on the launch date of the novelty. She just confirmed that an experimental program is in progress, subject to change, and that access has not yet been made available – that is, it is good to be aware of the possible intensification of scam attempts with dubious apps.

Subscription would bring faster response speed and priority access to new features, which were not described. But even so, the cost is the subject of criticism on the official ChatGPT Discord.
Among the reports, some users cite that they use artificial intelligence to speed up the work, which can weigh when purchasing the software. But for others who use it for entertainment or other tasks, the cost isn’t worth it.
The AI ​​chatbot market is set to explode this year as, in addition to ChatGPT, other rivals are in development. Therefore, perhaps the company will review the subscription price thinking about the competition. It is also worth remembering that Microsoft plans to integrate ChatGPT into the Bing search engine and Google wants to launch an improved chat search product later this year.
