Yeah this article seems very poorly written.

1. Article does not quote anyone at Microsoft saying AI is more expensive than employees.

2. Article says the nvidia deep learning team spends more on AI than employees, but that makes sense - the goal of that team is deep/heavy AI use, not agentic coding etc.

> But with a token-based pricing system, the work gets more expensive with more use and better efficiency.

Why do they claim costs increase with “better efficiency”?
