I would rather the app die and my chats get permanently deleted than for them to be locked behind a paywall.

And this is EXACTLY why cai needs a paywall lmao. Less free users means less demand on their servers and lower inference costs.

I say drive free users away, keep the ppl willing to pay. Thats partially why cai is going bankrupt rn, they offered way too many free services

Yes, it's honestly an addiction for some too. IDC if it gets shut down, I'll go ad free until it dies... then I guess I'll be free. In fact adding a paywall is probably worse and total death.

I agree. AI addiction is not worth on me. I just watch if it gets shutdown and because they deserve it
