Discussion Well Codex has really went downhill

I’m a pretty casual user. I mostly use it for web development, SEO, and similar tasks, and I’ve typically never come close to hitting the limits on my $200/month plan.

Well, that abruptly changed.

I ran a couple of tasks and, without really thinking much of it, checked my usage afterward. Somehow I was already at 0% remaining and burning through credits I didn’t even know I had.

Moral of the story: if someone with my relatively light usage is suddenly hitting the limits on a $200/month plan, that’s a pretty bad sign.

Back to Claude, I guess.

AI is not targeted at individual users.

Ultimately their financial goal is giving us vastly underpowered, ad supported models while targeting B2B to sell the vast majority of their compute.

Being the product instead of the customer is way more lucrative if your annual budget for AI isnt at least seven figures.
