This is the best AI programming will be. From here on the enshitification starts and the prices go up.

As predicted by many. The math is, as usual, mathing.

It has been years now of reading this same comment... Surely people can't keep typing it forever.

But the prices haven't been going up by multiples of 6 for the past few years. Things are actually changing now. I don't think it's over, but in the short term, it's going to be considerably more expensive.

They will smooth up the spike. Or be subtle and transform the existing quota so that they run out more quickly. Calling it caching, compression, optimisation, of course for the sacred benefit of the users.

That would be, even is, the smart thing to do.

And it didn't really get flawless, did it? All the same objections stand, but the cost is inevitably blowing up for the same kinda jank product.
