The web page executive summary and related features add value to the subscription. The addition of an encrypted notebook sync over ChatGPT’s native app is nice, but it comes at the expense of speed and a less intuitive UI. It also makes the user manually manage the encryption key; there is no option to use iCloud Keychain sync between iPad, macOS, and iPhone. I have subscriptions to both ChatGPT and Bearly, and find myself defaulting to ChatGPT’s app for its UI and speed. The addition of image generation is a nice thought, but the available engines lag behind the state of the art. It’s still in six finger and goat eyed human territory. It’s not as reliably realistic as a tool like Midjourney. It does okay on some inanimate objects or cartoony corporate art styles. Or it would if the generated images were larger. Users can’t choose higher resolutions. This means users can’t get images that can be used in writing or presentations with any prominence. The limited resolution is more useful for a little novelty exploration or perhaps making user icons. The feature may as well not be included if it’s only generating large thumbnails.
