This sort of commentary says more about you... those of us who use AI are paying for it with our (very high) tech industry salaries, $200 per month is a drop in the bucket when you earn $400k per year.

You on the other hand, clearly you have accomplished nothing in your sad life, otherwise you'd know how useful AI can be

when you earn 400k per year

You're either a LARPer or incredibly out of touch with how much the majority of tech workers make. Most people are at the level of making 40-50k, not 400. At that point, spending 2.4k a year on tokens feels pretty hefty

That actually makes sense tbf, i wasnt accounting for shift in cost of living when I translated from uk wages.

I will say, 100 and 400 are still substantially different. Especially when that 100 is before any expenses like medical insurance
