I might have a different take, I’m happy with this price per token so only those who’re using it for value would use for what they want.

There are so many useless cases such as people bragging about their token consumption that has no product and no value add, or those with OpenClaw doing useless automation that could be a Python script.

Agree on the point of that the shortage of tokens is causing a bit more responsible behavior with it comes to AI use, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The scarcity is a bit sad for solo-devs, but there's also hope this may encourage less slop and more thoughtful use of the tools while society adjusts.

There was an interesting discussion with creator of PI how even if LLMs are producing less errors than humans, they are producing them 10x faster and issues can compound a lot faster too. Introducing intentional breaks, even if by necessity, can help with that and not taking shortcuts that can be solved by throwing millions of tokens at any problem.
