ChatGPT Pro $500 tier is out, users fear AI pricing will only climb
Even-Definition · reddit · 2026-09-30
A Reddit user reports that the ChatGPT Pro $500 tier has launched, and worries about where pricing goes from here. They argue that once AI proves it delivers more value than human employees, subscriptions could rise toward the cost of hiring a real person ($30k–$100k/year). They also draw a parallel to Uber, fearing AI services will follow the same "enshittification" path once they become the status quo.
