It's very important to us that if we can offer something for free, we will.

Stephen Basaha, NPR News.
ChatGPT originally was entirely free, and the reason for that was that it was intended to be a demo.
and we were going to wind it down after a month.
We then realized that the demo went viral and people loved the demo, and it was actually a product.
But we realized that to be a product, you can't take the product down every time you're at capacity.
So we shipped subscriptions simply because it could shape the demand.

There's so much more opportunity.
