Like, it's not even THAT much better. I mean, not so much so that everyone should flood it lmao. The main plus was no restriction on tokens used, but that's useless when it's getting overloaded all the time.

I would say it's just barely noticeably better than the free tier of GPT. Which makes it a little annoying to go back but w/e.

Really sorry about this but this sounds like the premise to a shitty boomer joke:

β€œIf I wanted to spend another 6000 for a home nonsense generator, I’d get married again!”

etc.
