ChatGPT was the fastest growing gratis software of all time.

I wish we still lived in an age where things were sold to cover their costs.

My money's on their product having 10% of its current user base if they charged 50 cents per month.

You could have said this about Google's Search product...

How much would the average normie pay if Google suddenly charged? Sure the user-base would drop.

And what? Did Google suddenly become a bad business?

I find it funny how people have these strange and hypocritical viewpoints when it comes to OpenAI and Anthropic when the hyperscalars like Google, Amazon etc, followed these exact same kinds of playbooks for years and years.
