It's early days with AI I don't know how much will be paywalled. However if it's part of your job then your workplace will pay for it. If you're learning then there will be student access. It is just a tool and there's much hype about it. I don't see any immediate threat that humans won't overcome and adapt to. The progress is startling but that's where we've got a little tripped up. I don't as of yet associate fear with AI just more possibilities. It really depends if powerful people get to gatekeep the power of future AI. That's something we don't yet know.

The access is locked behind countries, not paywall. I don't mind paying 20$ to be able to study it. But I have to move to a specific country for that.

How it's gonna be solved? (Spoiler, it won't be solved)

Can you use ChatGPT with VPN? Yes, you can use ChatGPT with a VPN. This is especially useful if the technology is blocked in your home country or school. A VPN, such as NordVPN, helps easily bypass restrictions and use the chatbot no matter where you are.

This is obviously applicable to ChatGPT. I haven't looked at Google Bard. I have tried it briefly but don't know about the georestrictions in relation to Bard.

In combination with paywall it won't work anyway.

And you answered already for yourself.

Bard is a mystery for now, but likely, it will be the same as GPT4 and ClosedAI policy.

I don't know your location and georestrictions to this technology and Humans will always monetise technology. Whether your fears will be truly realised I don't know. We do need to seek open and honest access to this technology. The genie is released and there is no going back anyway. I'm not sure we really know how this is going to go but we can make educated guesses. We do weaponise technology so undoubtedly this will be used for both good and bad that is a side effect of technological progress.

I don't see any major issues with access to this technology currently. Then again I don't live in a country with any georestrictions and I use free access rather than any paid plans currently.

I'm the embodiment of what will happen.

Some will have access to it and will be able to adapt somehow. Others won't and, basically, will die. Like me.

Finally, there will be those, who control the access. Guess what they will have.

That's catastrophic thinking though. You are predicting something that you will make come true and the key word is you. I can't make promises for everyone but you already set your fate by your thinking. You need to be responsible for your future wherever possible. Your belief is what will ultimately hold you back or set you free.
