as someone who's been paying api prices for tokens to gcloud for the past few years (im a masochist), i'm sure access to ai is going to be metered once these companies stop their subsidised war for market share.
we should be prepared for that. a bunch of enterprises were shocked after github switched to usage based pricing for copilot lol, and now devs stuck w just $29 of spend for a month are just coping.
i think as long as the economic benefit to a person is higher than their inference cost, it's fine, but a lot of the wasteful burn of tokens on silly things will most likely end
