So how exactly does that work for the $25/mo flat fee that I pay OpenAI for chatgpt. They want me to keep getting the wrong output and burning money on their backend without any additional payment from me?

Something of an aside, but this is sort of equivalent to asking "how does that work for the $50 dollars the casino gave me to gamble with for free"? I once made 50 dollars exactly in that way by taking the casino's free tokens and putting them all on black in a single roulette spin. People like that are not the ones companies like that make money off of.

For the amount of money OpenAI burns that $25/mo is functionally the same as zero - they're still in the "first one is free" phase.

Though you could say the same thing about pretty much any VC funded sector in the "Growth" phase. And I probably will.

Is it really gambling, if the house always loses? :-)
