As far as I know, OpenAI does charge for API usage.

If that's not what you meant, clarify?

    I meant OpenAI billing for me in the same charge, an external app integrating their API. So the user only pay once

      I still don't follow you at all.

      The way I understand it is that:

      OpenAI bills people who use their API to build apps or whatever.

      OpenAI also bills people who use its non-API products (like ChatGPT).

      Am I missing something here or what is it that you dislike about this?

        They're basically suggesting logging into a product with an OpenAI account and paying OpenAI directly for the product's AI usage. Presumably the product would get some cut of OpenAI's revenue.

        Like AI is the gas that powers the AI product. OpenAI sells the gas, the product gets commission.

        That was my understanding at least, since I've had the same thought.
