The best part is that you still get charged per token for those CoT tokens that you're not allowed to ask it about.

Edwin from OpenAI here. 1) The linked tweet shows behavior through ChatGPT, not the OpenAI API, so you won't be charged for any tokens. 2) For the overall flow and email notification, we're taking a second look here.

That's definitely weird, and I wonder how legal it is.

  • They can charge whatever they want.

    • In my country, it's illegal to charge different people differently if there's no explicitly signed agreement where the both sides agree to it. Without an agreement, there must be a reasonable and verifiable justification for a change in the price. I think suddenly charging you $100 more (compared to other consumers) without explaining how you calculated it is somewhat illegal here.

It sounds bad, but you don’t have to use it as a consumer because you have a choice. This is different from electric bills where you can’t unplug it.

  • This is what an incredible level of product market fit look's like, people act like they are forced to pay for these services. Go use a local LLAMA!
