ChatGPT pro subscription- I have been using the PRO version wrong

[GON]

About six months ago, a friend recommended I subscribe at a rate of about $200 per month for CHATGPT PRO.

I went with the recommendation as I am working on two distinct key tasks that may have a lifelong impact. I was happy with the CHATGPT results.

What I discovered four days ago- I was using the "instant" version of CHATGPT. There is a separate dropdown for CHATGPT PRO.

Wow- pro takes 20 +/- minutes to provide a response, but wow what awesome responses the PRO version is providing. Documents I would spend hours trying to tweak/ improve... don't need any significant revisions.

Simply sharing my wrong use of CHATGPT PRO, might be a few other knuckleheads like me paying for a pro product, but using the free product.

Well, in your defense, they are engineering the interfaces to default to low-demand usage to try to lower token count.

In other words, they first make you pay a hefty subscription, then make you consciously exercise what you paid for.

The licenses can be $$.

Tell her to update any one of her installed MS applications (Outlook, Word, etc). Microsoft is continually enabling things, disabling things, adding features, removing features via Office 365. I really doubt the IT group has hers configured any differently than anyone else's.
