We have been gorging ourselves at an all-you-can-eat buffet, but the menu is about to change. AI tools that have been discounted will soon start charging based on your usage, raising serious questions about our appetite to pay.
The answer could have big implications for the future of artificial intelligence (AI).
And the AI Tech bros aren’t doing too well in the stock market at present.


We will never pay for AI but there are millions of people who will. Downvote me all you like but it truly is inevitable
AI costs are currently heavily subsidised. Do you think millions of individuals will be willing to pay 100 AUD a month? 500 AUD per month? Some companies might, but I doubt individuals will.
Let’s leave this shit behind on Reddit.
They just keep nerfing the plans one at a time till they’re no longer subsidised. Anthropic had a max 5x and max 20x plan at 100 and 200 dollarbucks, but they now upgraded max 20x to ultra which is 10x pro rather than 20x. Much better!
Why should I downvote you (in any case, I hardly ever downvote anyone)? You may be absolutely right. I put up the post because I was unaware that the cost of using AI was going to go up even more and it was worth discussing.
The idea here, I hope, is to discuss ideas and opinions. Sometimes, people make comments with malicious intent rather than comment on the topic. I don’t even downvote them but I might give them a serve back.
People just downvote opinions that go against their echo chamber these days. I’m glad you’re not one of them 🙂
Sorry, you make a valid point, but I still had to downvote you for the LOLZ.
