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.

In an economics test, or any other kind of naturally occurring knowledge test I can think of, it would beat all of you (and me).

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.
