It’s important to exercise caution when encountering apps that advertise themselves as free, as their actual usage may be limited by certain constraints, such as a specific number of credits or a word limit. This limitation can be deceptive and disheartening, especially if you were expecting unrestricted access to the application’s functionalities.
.
In my case, I use the ‘free’ features of Chat-GPT, an AI language model developed by OpenAI. It can assist you with various queries and searches free of charge, making it convenient for day-to-day interactions. However, for more complex research tasks and in-depth data mining, I recommend utilizing advanced models like GPT-4. These models are designed to handle intricate tasks and provide you with more comprehensive and detailed information.
.
By leveraging different models based on the nature of your needs, you can optimize your experience and obtain the most relevant and accurate results, by simply using AI/Chat-GPT itself to validate and verify the mediums that your might be currently using aren’t misleading you. It is what I did in what follows:
.
Me: What does it mean by 45 credits left when using an AI chat program?
.
AI Assistance: When using an AI chat program that offers credit-based pricing, it means that the user has a certain number of credits left to use before they need to purchase more. Each interaction with the AI assistant consumes a certain amount of credits, and the user’s remaining credits decrease accordingly. For example, if the user has 45 credits left, they can engage in 45 interactions with the AI assistant before needing purchase more credits. The number of credits required for each interaction may vary depending on the service or platform being used.
.
Me: I would like to use AI features without anything to do with credit, is it possible? Is there a truly ‘FREE’ Chat-GPT or AI program, bot, or site that validates this request?
.
AI Assistant: Yes, there are several AI chat programs and bots that are available for free and do not require any credits or payment to use. Here are a few examples:
.

These are just a few examples of AI chat programs and bots that are available for free and do not require any credits or payment to use.

Me: Can you please list 5 to 10 more if possible?

.
Please be aware that nearly all the AI/Chat-Bots and Apps available in the Microsoft Store require payment for ongoing usage. It’s uncertain whether the same applies to the Google repository. Even if they claim to be free, their usage is often restricted to a specific limit, such as credits or the number of words, which can be misleading and demotivating.
Currently, I primarily utilize Chat-GPT for free when handling most queries and searches. For research and extensive data mining tasks, I rely on GPT-4 ($20 bucks a month) and other advanced models.
In my opinion, Chat-GPT-4 is improving amazingly fast, now with new add-on apps and browser integration, the future really looks amazing, you will be able to do some really amazing things and even be part of some viable solution’s plaguing our world, such as our shared Climate Emergency.
