In this case, its not competition in the form of foreign company.

Its competition of engineers, scientists, and intellectual labor being atrophied due to overuse of LLM.

Pushing costs at 1/100 for 'thinking' gets intellectual labor people hooked and dependent. Then when costs go 300x, leaves people dumber and less capable of doing things on their own.

LLM companies, by not accurately charging for services, are directly dumping on world-level society and devaluing and addicting people to outsource thinking. Thats the problem.

In reality all subsidized and 'free' services do exactly this. LLM token vendors are making a play against human thought.
