Report: Apple isn’t paying OpenAI for ChatGPT integration into OSes
Apple thinks pushing OpenAI’s brand to hundreds of millions is worth more than money.
You're viewing a single thread.
I’ll take bets here.
I don’t think the user data where OpenAI makes its money. It’s the $20 a month GPT Plus subscriptions.
Apple announced that Plus users would get more functionality. Also, OpenAI is basically only limited to collecting data from queries that the user explicitly says it wants to sent to a 3rd party model. Each GPT4 query prompts the user with “Do you want me to use ChatGPT to do that?”
Apple’s not really in the business of selling data, but they are famously and infamously in the business of selling subscriptions to shit.
And this is the way it has to be! Fuck all this "free" stuff paid by data and ads!
Google: tries to track your behavior so they can sell targeted ads in their freeware
Apple: aggressively tried to lock you into platforms and ecosystem so they can sell you subscriptions, apps, and hardware
Both shitty, but one company’s business model is much more dependent on user data to exist.
You forgot to add that Apple tracks your behavior so they can sell you targeted ads.
Plus users do get more functionality, but it sounded like these are just the extra features a Plus subscription gives you anyway (so analysis, image generation etc.).
