ChatGPT from OpenAI

Look, we know everyone is talking about this particular AI game changer, but we promise the hype is real. ChatGPT is an AI chatbot created by OpenAI. It generates original text or programming code using natural language processing (NLP). You can talk to it like you would any chatbot and it will have a conversation with you. You can also ask it to write content.

The free version of ChatGPT is mostly limited to an older model, GPT-4, that’s trained on data through October 2023. This model is far more accurate and flexible than previous models, but it’s still prone to “hallucinations” because it’s working with older data. Currently, OpenAI offers access to its newer models (GPT-4o and o1 models) to certain tiers of ChatGPT users and free users in limited capacities.

The free plan includes custom GPTs as well as limited access to file uploads, web browsing and image generation.

As far as paid plans go, you can $20 per month for ChatGPT Plus, you’ll have extended limits on file uploads, opportunities to test new features and limited access to DALL-E 3 and Sora. DALL-E 3 enables text-to-image generation, while Sora enables text-to-video generation—including the ability to replace objects within a frame or add AI imagery to a live-shot scene. The Pro plan, which costs $200 a month, includes unlimited access to GPT-4o and o1, unlimited access to advanced voice and unlimited access to Sora. Team and Enterprise plans are available, too.
