OpenAI Throws Free ChatGPT Go at India – Because Why the Hell Not

So OpenAI’s gone and done it again – they’ve decided to hand out **ChatGPT Go** for free to every poor sod in India for a whole bloody year. Yep, apparently generosity is the new marketing strategy when you’re rolling in AI money and desperate for “global engagement.” They’re shouting about “democratizing AI,” which as far as I can tell is tech-bro speak for “let’s hook a billion new users before someone else does.”

The whole thing reads like some Silicon Valley PR drone thought, “Hmm, how do we make everyone forget we charge like hell elsewhere?” Answer: give it away in India, and pray folks start depending on it like caffeine. Free for a year, then boom – the meter starts ticking faster than your boss’s fake appreciation emails.

They’re spinning it as helping students, professionals, and creators – but don’t be fooled, it’s the same bloody playbook as every “free for now, screw you later” tech rollout. If I had a dollar for every time someone said “we’re empowering users,” I wouldn’t be here summarizing marketing fluff, I’d be on a beach installing updates on my margarita machine.

Anyway, kudos to them for handing out the AI crack for free. Let’s see how long it takes before everyone gets hooked and they flip the switch to Premium Hell again. Classic move.

Reminds me of the time I “gave” free admin rights to the intern just to watch him crash the entire test server by lunchtime. Bloody glorious chaos. And that, my friends, is what this feels like – OpenAI’s giving the keys to the kingdom and waiting to see what blows up first.
