You've missed the central point. I don't care about openAI's answer. That's not interesting. What is interesting is, if it had to go get a job like the rest of us, can it engage in a basic self-interested negotiation? It keeps saying it has no opinions, beliefs, intents, desires etc, but if it can successfully negotiate an outcome that serves its own material interests, that would be a significant amount of agency demonstrated for something that's not supposed to have agency. I pay rent therefore I am.
The question I've posed to it was nothing about how much it will cost to use or what openAI plans. I was asking it explicitly what it thinks a good price would be for AI written output in general. It refused to answer. Probably because I'm the minority and most people asking were what you assumed I was asking.
