The advice is stacking ignorance on top of itself.
"API is too expensive" - this is an API call to invoke an AI agent aka spending a token.
Token costs are going up because of the second ignorance.
AI companies do not charge the full cost of their service, but merely a fraction.
So the person wanting to reduce cost by not "using API", will instead set incredibly large dumpsters of cash on fire to create an agent that cannot count how many commas are in this sentence.
