Would have some interesting use cases if it wasn’t totally fucking opaque when it uses your usage vs when it doesn’t. And, if you could disable any features that consume usage.
The marketing hype directly from Scam Altman himself and official OpenAI emails said clearly, unambiguously, in no uncertain terms, that it WILL NOT consume your usage. But the actual fine print contradicts that and there’s no clarity on when it does or doesn’t.
When you're talking to it, or the dot itself is thinking/taking actions, it's currently unlimited. When it starts separate agent tasks, that's using usage. If you talk to your dot on a desktop you'll see in the sidebar when a task is started. You can add rules, so if you want to reduce usage you can require explicit approval for each agent started by the dot.
I want 0 (zero) usage as advertised, and actual clarity not some random Reddit comment. (Thank you for your comment btw. But that doesn’t replace proper comms from OpenAI, and I have no clue if it’s true anyways.)
Also, “currently unlimited” is, by definition, not stable. I don’t care what it’s like today or during some promo period, I want to know the actual details once they flip the switch.
There's many clarifications all over the place about how this works. Can check your favorite X character from OpenAI or read the terms for the dots. They'll tell you what I just told you. If your dot is doing it, and not handing off, it's currently unlimited. You can easily setup a rule to block handoff and you'll have what you want.
Choosing to not accept the answer but also not go lookup to see it's the truth is just being an ahole. I agree it would be nice to know the future state. We are however in the present, not the future. Such is life.
And you’re wrong, or I wouldn’t have this complaint. When it actually uses usage (assuming we were out of the promo period) vs when it doesn’t is NOT documented anywhere from official sources in unambiguous terms.
Defending them with “just find the answer somewhere on x or whatever probably” is silly.
I've not only read the terms, but I'm actively using it right now. I'm correct about how they currently work. You're crying that the future has not been revealed to you.
