Good for crunching out some prototypes, ideas and getting inspirations I guess. Two prompts - the initial one and one refinement - took about ten minutes and used up 90% of the token budget. I wonder what the real costs are. After the IPO, they will no longer be able to subsidize token costs. The question will then be whether it's still cheap enough just for prototypes, ideas and inspiration.

As long as tokens cost less than humans people will pay for them. If you're human you need to differentiate yourself bigly from what will quickly become mainstream AI slop.

True. I didn't expect it to provide novel designs. Maybe Anthropic should find a better replacement for 'Design'.

In my example, I expected it to create UI elements for a business application / expert system. And it did fine. In fact, I believe its perfect for creating average and functional designs. Its a better way to test variations of UIs for expert systems. But I want to know what the actual costs are.
