Why is that a bad thing lol.. they spend time and effort to make something amazing, seems fair if you want to use it you'd compensate them for that

Imagine paying for individual google searches. But then another company comes out with a free search engine. It's a good way to kill your product. They would be better off selling cosmetics for the interface like customization options. Charging per message is becoming more common for ai chatbots but it's basically negative reinforcement for using their product

OpenAI's CEO just tweeted yesterday that he wants to build a world with AI where working is optional for everyone. So I wouldn't accuse OpenAI of being too capitalist.

OpenAI doesn't currently have an infinite supply of resources, so they will need to charge users for their products.
