Matt Wolfe wonders how Apple's on-device ChatGPT access will handle payment when ChatGPT already limits free users and caps conversations for paid subscribers. Apple says users can link their OpenAI API key or login, but the details remain unclear.
The big question that I have about all of that is like, how is that getting paid for, like, right now with OpenAI you can obviously use ChatGPT for free, but it's very limited. How is it that on device we're going to be able to just have infinite conversations with OpenAI, but even Pro paying members can't have unlimited conversations with OpenAI, so I don't totally know how that part's going to work out yet. They did say you can like connect your API key or your login to OpenAI and you'll actually be able to use your premium features, but I don't know, there's still a little bit of like, ambiguity for me.
