>> I'm not going to pay 20$/month for something that I can just use for free

Well, it works until it doesn't because the website is overloaded. $20 gets you in through the VIP door and you don't need to wait along with the rest of the peasants.

You also get (throttled) GPT 4 which is much better at many tasks. That’s why I paid. We’ll see if the novelty lasts for very long but right now it’s a exciting product that I use multiple times a day and the most sci-fi invention of my life so far so I don’t mind paying

I didn't see any difference between 3.5 turbo and 4 for the data science app that I wrote. Another thing is that it's stochastic. So you could actually get a prompt that works well then you run it again and the identical prompt that generated codes that work now has generated codes that don't work. Of course, I could have my data science app cache codes that worked so if the prompt doesn't change it already has the generated code but I didn't want to have an ever growing repository of cached codes. Anyways.

In my experience 3.5 is so far away from 4 that it makes it makes 3.5 useless. I'd give another shot to gpt 4 if 3.5 was almost working for you (what did you use it for, anything for specific?)

Generation of data transformation pipelines in python. The problem is that a prompt that produces working code doesn't always produce working code.
