## What Jamie wrote

I've honestly been thinking about signing up for ChatGPT Pro so that I could experience the o1 pro model directly. Cowen has and his comments on using it are very positive.

> I find it very difficult to ask o1 pro an economics question it cannot answer.  I can do it, but typically I have to get very artificial.  It can answer, and answer well, any question I might normally pose in the course of typical inquiry and pondering.  As Adam indicated, I think only a relatively small number of humans in the world can give better answers to what I want to know.

That kind of capability for $200 a month doesn't seem like a bad deal. I wonder how many people actually have questions that need that level of capability though.
