  • Nice! What’s your main reason for paying for plus? I have pro and have never hit any limits. The heaviest usage I use it for is probably writing blog posts. It’s great at giving me the first 75% of the writing/structure and the I fact check and add my own thoughts/opinions where it got kinda boring or just wrong.

    As far as advice, for me it’s much more accurate than trusting an online forum post (people can be dramatic online) but yeah still worth taking it with a grain of salt anyways. In my experience it never has a harsh opinion, it normally weighs both sides of a situation pretty well and almost frustratingly won’t give me a straight answer. Which is probably a good thing since I ultimately make up my own mind haha


  • I actually never got good use out of the free version, but might just be my use cases. I had a friend who was getting great responses from it and when I asked him about it he said I have to try the pro version if I want actual good responses.

    For me the real gain for answering questions is just time saving too. I could spend that time looking through 5-6 articles that are probably half wrong, or just get a well rounded answer immediately. For example, I use it for questions like “how long should I bake chicken breasts?” And since that’s a pretty well researched and not controversial topic, it answers very accurately (and I can add unique details like how “done” I want it to be or if I marinaded it)




  • Great point! It also depends on how much time you have for it. I built a 3D printer when I was younger because I had hours most days to work on it.

    Now I would probably only have a few hours a week to tinker, so if I spent most of that time just working on the printer and couldn’t get stuff actually printed and printed well, that would feel like wasted time personally!

    Would be kinda cool to buy a functioning printer and print parts for a diy printer. Then it’ll have children haha!



  • One of those hobbies where starting cheap actually makes it not worth it. Kind of like a cheap camera can make you feel discouraged once you get pretty good at photography. A $500 camera can get you started, but a $1500+ (or refurbished more expensive option) will unlock a whole new level of creative abilities (speaking from experience!)

    What would you say the gap between the “this 3d printer will do the job but make you lose your mind” and “this is a reliable 3d printer that is reasonably priced for hobbies”?
