I stopped paying OpenAI because they went down or were "too busy" so much of the time I wanted to use it. Bard (or more so the VertexAI APIs) are always up and reliable and do not require a monthly fee, just the per call


How often was OpenAI down that you wanted to look elsewhere?


Not the person you asked, but (paid) ChatGPT was down so often for me that I almost cancelled... Until I switched to connecting via VPN. Only one outage since then For some reason whole swaths of the Spectrum IP block in Gilroy has trouble.


Multiple times a week my work was interrupted or workflows would break

This is not the only reason, their change from open to closed and Sam Altman's commentary were significant factors as well.

OpenAI is just the latest big tech darling, which I fully expect us to turn on like we do with other companies once they become to big to fail
