Isn't the Claude one only for a few months?

(I haven't checked the OpenAI one, as I have no interest in them)

Both programs have been announced as granting six months, but neither of them have explicitly said that there won't be options to renew for another six months.

I expect they haven't decided that themselves yet and don't want to commit publicly until they've seen how well the program goes.

  • Even if you’re right, no one should be making a decision of enrolling into those programs because maybe, with zero indication they’ll be renewed again in six months.

    You know what they could also do? Stop the programs for new enrolments next month. Or if if they renew them like you said, it could be with new conditions which exclude people currently on them.

    There are too many unknowns, and giving these companies the benefit of the doubt that they’ll give more instead of taking more goes counter to everything they showed so far.

    • Is your argument here that you shouldn't accept the free trial because you might find it useful and then be trapped into paying for more of it later?

    • If I understand correctly, they are literally giving things away for free for a 6 months period and we are complaining that they don't promise it stays free forever?
