As exciting as it sounds, but

"As a constraint, a GA designer should aim at a system which costs, as of mid-2026, >$1,000⧸month"

will make this an elite tool for the privileged. I don't even disagree with the premise that people are shocked if something costs no matter how much value it delivers, nor do I suggest they should make it cheaper. It is just the realization that AI will accelerate the widening of the gap between the poor and the rich even more and there is probably nothing we can do about it.
