Dear OpenAI team and ChatGPT community,
I wholeheartedly resonate with the sentiments shared by fellow users in this thread, and I believe the request for the inclusion of PayPal as a payment option is more than justifiable. PayPal is a global payment platform that has established a trustful relationship with millions of users across the world. It provides a secure, convenient, and versatile method of payment, particularly for those who may not have access to credit cards or prefer not to use them online.
In the spirit of OpenAI’s mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity, inclusivity and accessibility should be paramount when considering payment methods. By broadening the range of acceptable payment options, more users globally can access and benefit from the state-of-the-art language model that OpenAI offers.
Moreover, by not having PayPal as an option, there is a risk that potential customers might choose to utilize other emerging AI services that do offer PayPal, such as Bard. We sincerely hope that the OpenAI team considers the feedback provided by its community. It’s not just a matter of convenience but also of retaining and expanding the user base in the face of growing competition in the AI space.
Lastly, we appreciate OpenAI’s commitment to continuous improvement and enhancement of its products and services. We believe that taking this step will not only serve your existing users but also open the doors to countless others who are waiting for such options to become available.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. We are eager to hear your thoughts and to continue being part of this exciting journey of AI evolution.
Best regards,
Eran Betzalel.
