OpenAI’s ‘Free’ AI Isn’t Generosity โ You’re the Product
OpenAI is handing out GPT 5.6 Terra, Luna, and Sol for free โ 2.5 million tokens a day, no strings attached. Except the strings are everywhere. This isn’t generosity or a response to open-source competition. It’s a calculated move to turn millions of users into unpaid trainers, harvesting human correction data to build the next model. The free tier is a data harvester wearing the mask of a gift.
