I don't think we realize how good we have it right now. ChatGPT is unbiased (configurable solely and fully by the user) and truly tries its best to be useful. It's surely a question of time before OpenAI lets advertisers pay them to introduce product placement and subconscious biases into the LLM in exchange for cash. This could make eg. all medical advice it gives make it seem like you need one specific, sponsoring, medication. What alternatives are there for getting the current experience when that happens? I wouldn't mind paying a small subscription to cover compute costs and retain neutrality.

I had a subscription for 3 months or so.
I haven't found ChatGPT to be all that useful. My primary use is in TTRPGs. Story hooks and very generic things sure. But if I ask for anything specific to the rules for one specific TTRPG, even giving it the text to reference, it still comes up with absolutely unreliable nonsense. A mashup of things from several different TTRPGs. Even when asked a direct question "what's the stat-block for a zombie in the PDF I just gave you?" And it responds with something completely made up.

I have both Proton and Kagi. Kagi offers access to most of the major LLMs. Proton has their own. They all work more less the same. ChatGPT is nothing special realy.
