I signed up to the GPT4 waitlist the first day and I still don't have access.
As these AI models get more powerful, giving certain people months to use them while the rest of us twiddle our thumbs seems unfair. It should be everyone has access but you only get X API requests per day. Then increase X for all users evenly. If OpenAI isn't going to be open, at least they could be a little more fair with access.
I got access like a week after and I'm of no important status and haven't spent more then 10USD on their api - but I think it's based on the age of the account, I paid for chatGPT premium as well.
But I do believe the api is accessible to non-megacorporations.
