How to save money with AI in 2026: Switch to ChatGPT Go

What is ChatGPT Go?

I have made the choice to switch to ChatGPT Go. This is a new tier in the subscription model in here. It is a basic tier above the free usage of the AI chatbot here. It only costs $8 dollars a month.

ChatGPT has been go to LLM since 2023 alongside Microsoft’s Copilot. However, Google was going to catch up at some point here. While they had some stumbles with earlier versions of their AI models, Gemini is really proficient at creating something specific to my interests, photorealistic images. While many people may be tiring of photorealism in movies or video games, I love seeing how an alternate world or historical age would appear through some tweaks in the prompts.

ChatGPT Pro is $20 dollars a month and I think it has more value than a Netflix subscription. Netflix is just stuffing their platform with games and podcasts instead of filmed shows and movies. ChatGPT can be applied to many areas of productivity and entertainment here.

There has been some criticism of ChatGPT in recent weeks. Some say that the site is burning money. Here is my view: Every internet site goes through this phase. The main difference is that ChatGPT has gone from making 3 billion dollars to making 20 billion dollars in 2025.

The company is requiring some very heavy investments in capital, but I believe that they are on the right track in here.

Who should be using ChatGPT Go?

AI tools are some of the greatest ways to be productive and creative at the same time here. However, these tools are not cheap, and we need to be finding more economical ways to use these groundbreaking tools without spending too much here. This makes sense to anyone who wishes to save money in order to balance their budgets here.

Advertising is a necessary part of growing an internet business now. Open AI has to be careful about how it implements ads into this tier of their services. I do not want to be like how Netflix is shoving their ads into their shows. It needs to be subtle and not in your face here. The approach that they seem to be taking is nice and I appreciate it. They need to make it relevant to the users of their accounts. There have been too many ads that are basically irrelevant to my usage in cyberspace.

ChatGPT is approaching 800 billion weekly users. This is an incredible market to use for monetization and for the stabilization of the AI bubble. However, they need to make sure that they produce a product which people want to use. They need it to be useful for their everyday lives in both entertainment and productivity.

ChatGPT Pro is simply too expensive for me right now and ChatGPT Go is prefect for my usage. Having more affordable options to use AI is great for us.

This tool has changed the economy and the world and now its time to find the best way to use it for the betterment of our age.

Google Gemini: The power of photorealism in historical education

I have spoken many times about how great Google Gemini is. Here, I talk about how it can be used in historical education because of its high realism. These are not the stylized images of Dalle-3 but something that has weight in the depiction of reality. This ability to recreate reality is very important in education as ChatGPT and Google Gemini already have research tabs to allow for students to improve their understanding of the past.

The image above comes from the prompt: Create photorealistic image of a young Middle Class woman in Martinsburg, Virginia in her room in 1840 era.

Such AI generations are more accurate than previously and you can ask Gemini to elaborate on these images, especially if you see something incorrect in the image.

One such elaboration beyond correcting anachronisms is the ability to label everything in that image. Here is an example.

Google Gemini creates a Photorealistic image of a young Middle-Class woman in Martinsburg, Virginia in her room in 1870 era.

The image above comes from the prompt: Create photorealistic image of a young Middle Class woman in Martinsburg, Virginia in her room in 1870 era.

Next I use the prompt for the chatbot to label the photo: Take this image and label everything that is historically relevant for teaching about this age in interior design and style.

You would have had to research specific sections separately just to be able to know what each of these elements meant in context. Such a tool as Gemini proves that AI is not just about “taking” people’s jobs or hobbies but enhancing them and making look at our surroundings more closely.

The implications for education can revitalize a rather stagnant profession. This can be way of putting in Socratic thinking into schools, connecting ideas in concentric relationships instead of the linear ideas I was exposed to when I was in my schooling age. There will be people who criticize these tools for stealing people’s art or photographs. My response is that we should be heterodox on this issue.

Chatbots such as ChatGPT are only getting more sophisticated at creating historical images. Teachers should be attempting to use these tools and encourage their students to learn how to use them.

There were many early stories about students using ChatGPT in order to cheat. Now is the time to be able to help students use these tools to understand the nature of their history and societies.

ChatGPT image creation (ChatGPT 5.2) has gotten a upgrade.

ChatGPT is now at version 5.2, and the image creation is much better now. The previous versions took much longer here. Previously, it was taking minutes and it was starting to look rather primitive in comparison to Gemini Nano Banana Pro.

The results are truly amazing and realism and different art styles are very unique in here. What you see above is an impression of a Carolingian noble family looking at a water wheel near the imperial city of Aachen in 800 AD.

The ability to create these images is more engaging and interesting than even spending time watching movies and tv shows.

The prompt that I used was: Create image of a Carolingian nobleman with his wife and daughter and some of his peasant dependents who are looking at a water wheel near Aachen in 800 AD era.

In comparison to images created with DALLE-3 (which was already amazing but primitive), these are incredible.

Another aspect of this chatbot is the ability to make an RPG out of these paintings.

The same people can move to different situations, and this was something that was very tough on the older models.

The prompt that I used for this image was: Create image of the nobleman with his daughter giving her silk from Byzantine Empire here.

What it’s able to create here is a true sense of humanity and warmth which was missing in the old models.

People underestimate the power of AI, especially when ChatGPT when it comes to creating images. The ability to render images of past ages will, in my opinion, help to reinvigorate education of history to students.
