ChatGPT Plus subscriptions are being listed on eBay after OpenAI blocked signups

OpenAI has temporarily halted new sign-ups for its $20-a-month ChatGPT Plus subscription due to a surge in demand following its developer conference. In response, some users are attempting to sell their account details on eBay at discounted prices. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, stated that the increase in usage post-conference has exceeded their capacity, and they want to ensure a good user experience.

The AI startup, which is nearing $1 billion in annual revenue and potentially valued at up to $90 billion, announced a range of updates and new products at its first developer conference. These include a "GPT store" for custom versions of ChatGPT and a "Copyright Shield" for legal protection against copyright infringement claims.
