OpenAI Losing Money on ChatGPT Pro: Sam Altman’s Pricing Drama
💬 Sam Altman: “Let’s charge $200/month for ChatGPT Pro! Easy money!” 🤑
👨💻 Users: “Oh, really? Watch this.” (Proceeds to use it like an all-you-can-eat AI buffet.) 🍔🤖
Turns out, running ChatGPT costs more than a yacht habit. At one point, it was $700K/day to keep the AI thinking. 💸
OpenAI has now entered panic mode:
- Step 1: Admit they need “way more money than imagined.” 😬
- Step 2: “Should we raise prices?” 💰💭
Despite burning cash like a flamethrower 🔥, they’re dreaming big: $100 billion revenue by 2029. (Yes, the same sales as Nestlé. AI KitKats, anyone?) 🍫🤖
Meanwhile, OpenAI is still figuring out pricing, investments, and how to stop Pro users from treating it like a productivity cheat code. 🧑💻🚀
For now, Sam’s pricing skills = 🤷♂️.
