To be fair, I got GPT-4 API access a few days after it launched, without providing any free labor (though I don't know what that's referring to, so maybe I did?).

They state (or did last I looked) that their priority is based on submission of quality AI test cases to their repository of such.

Ah, I wasn't aware, thanks.

Exactly.

Just goes against their mission, if that’s still a thing.
