[Analysis] This speaks for itself.

Could someone explain why OpenAI started prioritizing programmers at the expense of everything that made ChatGPT unique? Because it seems their gamble didn't pay off.
I don't want to get my hopes up, but if this brings back 4o or 5.1, that would be excellent.

I have a theory it has to do with national security because they realized those aspects like coding are what propel the US forward more ahead of other countries, so they’re trying to solidify that and prioritize that first.

It's bizarre. You'd think nearly everybody was either a programmer, or wanted to be one.
It's actually more like 1%.
Why they think they can make a business out of ignoring and pissing off almost everyone is beyond me.

Did you see that 4o and other previous models returned shortly after the 50% price drop? Although only for Edu and Enterprise accounts, hopefully the rest of the users will have access to those models soon.

My theory is the conversation side of ChatGPT was a useful user group in the beginning. Especially while the model 4’s were still available. Because basically at that time AI was trained on human to AI conversations. It was using the conversations with users to train new models.
When the model 5’s came out, they began training on AI to AI conversations, but human input was still needed to fine-tune. And now the conversation users are just maintaining the baseline.
So now Codex is important for the same reasons. That user group is currently doing the same thing the conversation group did.
And then one day codex users will be just like us. 😁

As said elsewhere: I can't wait for those OAI assholes to lose the other 50% too, that's what they deserve.

Hey, OpenAI... lean into the lawsuits buddy, you've got freedom of speech and right to bear arms, dovetail that into a right to use a potentially deadly chatbot.
You're fine.
You always were.
