A conversational dialogue model trained by AI and machine learning to comprehend and respond to natural human language is known as ChatGPT.

OpenAI also said that they were looking for ways to “monetize ChatGPT” to ensure the bot’s “long-term viability” in an announcement on their official discord.
In a previous Twitter thread, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that the bot was currently costing the company “single-digit cents per chat” and that they were figuring out how to “optimize it.”
Additionally, the waitlist outlines the professional advantages of a premium plan, which include 24/7 availability, no throttle, and an unlimited number of bot chats.

The company stated that signees on the waitlist would be the first to test the professional version; however, it made it clear that the product was still in the experimental stage and would not be widely available for some time.
OpenAI anticipates earning $200 million in revenue this year and has set goals to earn $1 billion in revenue by 2024, according to a report from Reuters.
