Giving and then taking is more repugnant than not giving.
I can sympathize with the sadness of those who felt attached to 4o and lost it in the upgrade.
On the other hand, in order for something to be maintained, a maintenance fee should be paid, and if you were using it for free, you are in no position to complain!
OpenAI has antagonized as a result of giving 4o for free and then taking it away. Should we not have given it to them in the first place?
Sam Altman's philosophy is that it's not good for some people to have a monopoly on AI, so he gives it away for free.
