Hacker News noted that OpenAI will not show ads to users under 18 during the test and cited the significant infrastructure costs of maintaining free plans. Users on higher-tier plans, including the $20-per-month Plus subscription, will remain ad-free.
Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
