> I cynically think this was OpenAI’s aim when they made ChatGPT free for students

Is there any interpretation that makes sense _other_ than this?

It's only free for two months. I'm surprised they don't offer a similar free trial for everyone.

There are all sorts of stereotypes about frugal students which have truth, but simultaneously, the education market is in some respects a cash cow. Look at tuition costs, or the cost of textbooks. If they're already spending a lot of largely loaned money for education, I guess charging students and having them think it's an education tool gets them some revenue.
