If I don't want to spend money on tips at the restaurant, even less will I want to spend it on donations

    The difference is that a tip is "you're already getting paid to do your job, why would I pay you to do your job?". Whereas this is "you gave me this for free, so maybe if I make a bunch of money I could show appreciation for that gift" or pay-it-forward so the next guy can also get a free start, etc.

    And yes I know they're are busted places on this Earth where basically servers don't already get paid to do their job and are thus reliant on tips as income, but that's a different problem...

    I have third world money. Every penny I make goes into things I need to survive, not things I could get for free after a Google search

    That's cool man, we're not talking about you. We're talking about Open AI, who pays employees hundreds of thousands of American dollars a year.

    You should be allowed to use it for free. And a donation from a company like them, could make it easier for a person like you to get an awesome cutting edge tool for free!
