I’ve decided to bite the bullet and sign up for Chat GPT Plus. It’s $20 per month, and gives access to Open AI’s GPT-4, as well as priority access when the servers are overloaded.
It’s clear generative AI is going to play a massive role in the future of work, and although I’ve been following the online chatter, I haven’t used Chat GPT in any meaningful amount over the past 3-4 months. Instead I’ve continued to use Google, finding and parsing information myself.
I want to deliberately stop using Google for a month or two, and switch completely to Chat GPT. I want to see what the experience is like for a full search engine replacement.
However, there are a few exceptions, such as when I’m looking for real-time information, as GPT has an information cut-off date of Sep 2021.
I’ve already been using it to plan so travel itineraries, sense check my ankle rehab plan, and to quickly digest the backstory on some Argentine art.
I’ll report back at the end of a month or so of usage.
