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.

    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.

    Downvote me all you like but it truly is inevitable

    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!
