At the Money20/20 conference in Las Vegas, OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar revealed that 75% of the company's revenue is derived from consumer subscriptions, with ChatGPT boasting 250 million weekly active users. She noted that approximately 5-6% of these users convert to paid subscriptions, priced at $20 per month. Friar also discussed the capabilities of OpenAI's new reasoning model, which some lawyers claim can perform tasks equivalent to a paralegal charging $2,000 per hour. She emphasized that advancements in artificial general intelligence (AGI) are closer than many perceive, with internal research models demonstrating PhD-level performance across various fields. These insights highlight OpenAI's ongoing efforts to leverage AI technology to enhance productivity in professional sectors, including legal services.
Someone is charging OpenAI $2000/hour for paralegal work and maybe that's why they're so hell-bent on creating AGI to replace all labor https://t.co/3fxptoYSY3
OpenAI absolutely getting ripped off by their lawyers lmao $2,000 PARALEGAL!!!!! https://t.co/kOmhqA37Ha
Legal AI still has a ways to go. OpenAI's CFO thinks firms are billing "easily $1,000-2,000 per hour" for...paralegals. She incorporates that into her pitch for OpenAI replacing them. CFOs aren't in sales for a reason. But now, it's not clear why she is OpenAI's CFO, either. https://t.co/IAmtD1bbvp
