| I've got 4 different chat windows open on 4 free plans. That's not counting the free IDE-autocomplete I use. In any given day I never have no access to free LLM help. Since all the models are converging onto the same level of performance, I mostly can't even tell responses from ChatGPT and Claude apart. > Right now a lot of AI tools are underpriced to get customers hooked, then they'll jack up the prices later. Good luck with that. I mean it. The ChatAI TAM is now so saturated with free offerings that the first supplier to blink will go out of business before they are done blinking. I see people (like sibling reply to parent) boasting about the amount of value they get from the $20/m subscription, but I don't see how that is $20 better than just using the free ChatAIs. The only way out of the red for ChatAI products is to add in advertising slowly; they have to boil the frog. A subscription may have made sense when ChatGPT was the only decent game in town. Subscriptions don't make sense now - I can get 90% of the value of a ChatAI for 0% of the cost. |
