What are your plans for when ChatGPT enshittifies? (lemmy.ml)

I don't think we realize how good we have it right now. ChatGPT is unbiased (configurable solely and fully by the user) and truly tries its best to be useful. It's surely a question of time before OpenAI lets advertisers pay them to introduce product placement and subconscious biases into the LLM in exchange for cash. This could make eg. all medical advice it gives make it seem like you need one specific, sponsoring, medication. What alternatives are there for getting the current experience when that happens? I wouldn't mind paying a small subscription to cover compute costs and retain neutrality.

Do you use a different ChatGPT than everyone else? Because GPT-5 is already a pretty enshittified version. GPT-3 and GPT-4o were lucky outliers and still had lots of issues.

They're losing money and their customers do, too.
