Bowled-over by the tsunami of new demand triggered by its recent upgrade, ChatGPT has begun turning away new customers � at least for now.

Observes Sam Altman, former CEO, OpenAI: �We are pausing new ChatGPT Plus sign-ups for a bit.

�The surge in usage post devday (November 6, when OpenAI rolled-out news of a substantial number of upgrades to ChatGPT) has exceeded our capacity.�

Fortunately, new users clamoring for a subscription can join a waitlist to be informed when new ChatGPT accounts are available again.

For OpenAI, it has to be a nice problem to have.

In other AI-generated writing news:

*CEO of ChatGPT Fired: In a move that brings new meaning to the word stunning, Sam Altman � the CEO of ChatGPT � has been fired.

The reason: Altman was accused by the board of OpenAI � the maker of ChatGPT � of soft-peddling the risks many see associated with AI.

Observes writer Cade Metz: �Since ChatGPT was released almost a year ago, artificial intelligence has captured the public�s imagination, with hopes that it could be used for important work like drug research or to help teach children.

�But some AI scientists and political leaders worry about its risks � such as jobs getting automated out of existence or autonomous warfare that grows beyond human control.�

The firing has scrambled the brains of many familiar with Altman, who squired the company in just a few short years to release one of the most popular software products in human history � ChatGPT.

*In-Depth Guide: Shoot-Out: Claude Pro vs. ChatGPT Plus: The ongoing good news for users of AI writing is that despite ChatGPT�s leadership role in the space, there are plenty of worthy competitors looking to tempt you with alternative offerings.

This guide offers a shoot-out with ChatGPT, featuring worthy contender Claude Pro.

The takeway from reviewer Michael Nu�ez: �ChatGPT Plus, with its larger model, excels in creativity and complex reasoning, supplemented by a wide array of plugins for diverse tasks.

�Claude Pro stands out for its ability to comprehend and summarize large volumes of text rapidly � along with its constitutional AI design for improved alignment with human values.�

*Elon Musk�s �Me-Too� Grok: Not as Powerful at ChatGPT: While Elon Musk�s newly released challenger to ChatGPT � dubbed �Grok� � has competitors worried, it�s still not as powerful as the market leader right now.

Observes writer Anthony Cuthbertson: �Despite claiming that Grok outperforms ChatGPT � which is freely available � xAI did acknowledge that it does not yet match the capabilities of OpenAI�s more powerful GPT-4 model.�

Still, the new AI chatbot is a vintage Elon Musk product � basking in its attempt to at once disrupt and ruffle feathers.

Adds Cuthbertson: �The tech billionaire claims his new Grok AI is both smarter and funnier than its rivals, offering paid users of X (formerly Twitter) the chance to ask it �spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems.'�

�Then, Outset, powered by GPT-4, follows up with respondents to clarify, probe on answers and create a �conversational rapport� for deeper responses.�
