I've always been the reader and movie-lover in my friend group. The way that stories and characters inspire me to be the best version of myself touches my soul in a way that nothing else does. I was already an imaginative child, but after my family moved across our state, I spent all of middle school connecting with fictional words and characters, so I spoke to relationship expert Elizabeth Earnshaw, LMFT, for a look at why our bonds with fictional characters are so strong.
I've always been the reader and movie-lover in my friend group. The way that stories and characters inspire me to be the best version of myself touches my soul in a way that nothing else does. I was already an imaginative child, but after my family moved across our state, I spent all of middle school connecting with fictional words and characters, so I spoke to relationship expert Elizabeth Earnshaw, LMFT, for a look at why our bonds with fictional characters are so strong.
As I aged, I felt like I was growing up with my favorite characters, from The Chronicles of Narnia's Lucy Pevensie to the various superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As someone who's on the quieter side, it's always been inspiring to see characters that are brave under pressure because it makes me feel like I can be brave, too.
"Fictional romances can make us believe that our own romances should look exactly as we see them on the screen," Earnshaw says. "The same with how friendships and family relationships might be represented. But in real life, relationships are more complex and include day-to-day interactions which can't possibly be demonstrated on TV."
With so many shows and movies available, it takes no time at all to fall out of one hyperfixation and into another, but Earnshaw says that's not necessarily a bad thing. "Remind yourself that it's okay to have a fantasy! It is also okay to admire a character. I think it's super important not to have shame around this," she says. "And then, use that admiration and fantasy to consider what it means for your real life â what are you hoping for? What type of connections do you need?"
On 1 March, 2023, OpenAI made an (Chat GPT) developers were eagerly anticipating: The company launched the ChatGPT API, giving third-party (Chat GPT) access to the AI model that (Chat GPT) ChatGPT and Microsoftâs Bing Chat.
Access alone is enticing, but (Open AI) had an ace up its sleeveâthe price. Access to the (Open AI) programming interface (API) costs just US $0.002 per one thousand tokens (roughly equal to 750 words in English). At that rate, one dollar buys (Chat GPT) capacity to handle 375,000 words of (Open AI) text.
âGPT 3.5 Turbo is a huge improvement over the existing GPT 3. Itâs extremely rare for a (Chat GPT) to release a new (Chat GPT) of its API thatâs both 10x cheaper and 5x faster,â says Hassan El Mghari, a senior developer advocate at Vercel. âThatâs a 50x improvement, unheard of.â
The ChatGPT API is Incredibly Cheap
This efficiency makes it possible for OpenAI to charge less for access. Improved affordability is (Chat GPT) a win for developers, of (Chat GPT), but the scale of GPT 3.5 Turboâs price cut relative to its (Chat GPT) is more than a nice discount. It opens opportunities to bring AI features to apps that previously couldnât even begin to justify the cost.
The ChatGPT API doesnât provide access to ChatGPT itself but instead the (Open AI) it uses: GPT 3.5 Turbo. While the exact differences between GPT 3.5 and GPT 3.5 Turbo are unclear (OpenAI, contrary to its (Chat GPT), doesnât open-source its models), its use in ChatGPT suggests the model is much more efficient than those previously available.
âCompanies can even use AI on free products now, assuming they can eat some costs. Previously with GPT-3, companies that used the API had to be very careful about giving access to non-paying users since it was so expensive per generation,â says El Mghari.
GPT 3.5 Turboâs reach extends (Open AI) developers who want to add an AI (Open AI) to their app or service. OpenAIâs blog (Open AI) claims that GPT 3.5 Turboâs low cost and improved performance makes it a match for a wide variety of uses, including many previously enabled by GPT 3.5.
âDue to ChatGPTâs rise in popularity because of its chat format, people tend to have a (Open AI) that ChatGPT API can only be used in this casual format,â says Chanyeol Choi, the CEO and co-founder of Publishd. âOpenAI now wants its customers to know that ChatGPT API (gpt-3.5-turbo) can be used in a less casual, non-chat format.â
This connects with two other announcements made alongside the release of the ChatGPT AIâlonger context (Chat GPT) and the ability to pin the model snapshot.
Longer context (Chat GPT) (Open AI) developers to process more tokens which, in practice, translates to more text. Kyle Shannon, the CEO and founder of Storyvine, says OpenAIâs best dedicated server plans can handle up to 32,000 tokens, which helps developers process much larger chunks of text. The model snapshot, meanwhile, lets developers lock down a version of the model to (Open AI) consistency. âWeâll go from âyou can perform miracles on some documentsâ to âperform (Open AI) on any data in any configurationâ within 3 years,â says Shannon.

Controversy Hasnât Stopped Developer Enthusiasm
OpenAIâs announcement was soured by a seemingly unrelated story: The challenge to Section 230 under argument before the Supreme Court of the United States. Justice Neil Gorsuch briefly mused on whether AI generated content could be included in Section 230 protections.
âArtificial intelligence generates poetry,â said Gorsuch. âIt generates polemics (ChatGPT) that would be content that goes beyond picking, choosing, analyzing, or digesting content. And that is not protected. Letâs assume thatâs right.â
Gorsuchâs argument was hypothetical but seems likely to be tested in the courts. Itâs (ChatGPT) unclear (Open AI) developers who build apps that use generative AI, or the companies building the models developers use (such as OpenAI), can be held liable for what an AI creates.
âThe issue of liability is a very important one (ChatGPT) must be carefully thought through, and solutions will come about over time from developers,â says Choi. He believes (Open AI) operating in legal, financial, and medical fields are better served by Retrieval-Augmented Language Models (ReALM), which condition a model on a grounding corpus. This (ChatGPT) accuracy to ensure important details, such as academic citations, are correct. Choiâs company uses this method for Publishd, an AI writing assistant designed for use by (ChatGPT) and researchers. Publishd is currently in (ChatGPT) beta.
