What happens if subscriptions are offered but the free tier remains?

 Relevant clarification question. See above. 

To take use of AI chatbot technology, OpenAI unveiled subscription plans for ChatGPT Plus, powered by ChatGPT-4, in February. A number of notable improvements are included with these plans, including quicker response times, a larger word limit, access to the most recent information even during periods of high demand, and more. It's crucial to remember that everyone can still utilize ChatGPT-3.5, the free version.

For budgetary considerations, OpenAI might offer the free version as a short-term trial for a few months, but from my perspective,  it's also important to think of it as a way to prioritize user acquisition. OpenAI can effectively raise awareness and draw in new users by continuing to provide a free chatbot. This demonstrates their dedication to making AI technology accessible to a wider audience. 

Just curious when I'll have to start paying for ChatGPT to reword my projects at work... Resolves YES if subscriptions are a thing from now until December 31st, 2024 or NO if they do not monetize it.
