Also the article seems to be mixing two different things. The pricing as in

>allowed to burn thousands of dollars of tokens on a $39-a-month subscription

and whether the AI is worth it if you do pay what it costs.

I always thought the burn thousands of dollars of tokens without paying bit was unsustainable and harmful for the environment, electricity bills, investors and the like.

But I think it can do worthwhile stuff even if you pay. Like a small job I did was to get the emails of conference attendees off a website. It was tricky as they didn't want to be scrapped so I chatted to gemini and it helped figure out how to use tampermonkey and wrote a script. It was probably <$1 tokens and saved a couple of hours of mucking around. There must be a lot of things like that.
