> well 0.02 cents for 1000 tokens for davinci is already high I am not sure how affordable the new model may be

Is it? I guess it depends on use case. Their site claims that a token is (on average) 4 characters, or roughly .75 words*. Let's say that's generous, and that a token is more like an average of .5 words.

The "Way of Kings" (according to reddit**, at least) is 383,181 words. So, roughly 766,362 tokens. $.02 gets you 1000 tokens, which comes to $15.33.

I dunno what you use it for, and maybe this isn't feasible for your use cases so take this with a grain of salt, but I personally would happily pay $15.33 to be able to send half a "Way of Kings" worth of words to ChatGPT and get half a "Way of Kings" worth of words in response. I mean, I'm certainly not typing half or even a third of the "Way of Kings" in a month to ChatGPT now, even though it's still free. *shrug*

Am I missing something?
