Comment on Ask HN: Are you going to shell out $42 for ChatGPT pro? Is it worth it?

This too shall pass. This is no different than the time when everyone was crazed about having an Alexa at home because "oh i am too busy to write down my grocery list"

I never used Alexa for anything because it was faster to just use my phone directly. But ChatGPT has been genuinely helpful. Not sure about $42 helpful, but much more than Alexa.

There’s a significant difference between voice assistants. Roughly, in my experience Google is the best, followed by Alexa (less smart), followed by Siri (better at controlling the phone, much less smart). A Google assistant with a custom wake word would be perfect.
