These assertions are based off of what?

Given that you can buy a at least a couple hours worth of GPU compute at $20, it's hard to believe the average user spends that much time (specifically waiting for the response) on GPT-4 on the web every month... Not to mention that they probably have optimizations that batch together queries at the same time and make things more efficient at scale...

the assertions were based on a prompt sent to chatgpt: "are you more efficient than google translate, cost-wise?"
