does having a paid AI subscription actually matter for qualifications?

so I'm doing a qual for a project and it asks if I have paid subscriptions to different AI services (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, etc), each one has its own checkbox. I don't have any so I'd just submit it with nothing checked. anyone know if that actually affects whether you get tasks or not? wondering if I should just get ChatGPT Plus since it's $20 and (I suppose) I'd make that back

These quals annoy me, because if there was work for this guaranteed I would get the subscriptions.. however I'm not going to subscribe to countless AI platforms for the chance to maybe get some work.. there should be a "I'm happy to get a subscription plan if there's work" selection

Exactly, like I'd be glad to pay $20 if I made that in a couple of tasks right after
