    I mean for this topic to maintain currency, for helping each other, and to help people who want to learn what AI options are available.

    This here topmost post is subject to updates, to be kept current. I ain’t lyin’. I hope.

    Please keep your posts up to date in just one post, if you can, and let me delete your previous post unless we should keep it posted here just for posterity. (I wish y’all had the same power to edit and delete your own posts that I have… maybe that will be available someday?)

    PopeBeanie’s setup

    I pay $20/mth, directly to openAI for ChatGPT. I like them because they keep improving their features, although once in a while their servers respond slowly, I assume caused by periodic growth spurts. They started out prioritizing an ethical business model and operational awareness of ethical uses of AI, e.g. don’t teach how to kill someone or yourself. (I haven’t checked recently how well they’re doing on those ethics.)

    Here’s an article on their most recent (Nov 22, 2024) update.
