not at all true. if you're truly using it across the board for smaller things (translation of pages, filtering of every individual tweet based on its relevance to you etc), the costs ramp up super quickly.
i used for work where i did less and it quickly reaches thousands if you're not careful. i can already see what some will say: skill issue et cetera - whatever.
$100-200/mo is the subscription price. You aren’t going to go over. And you can select smaller models as well. Not everything has to be done by the most expensive one.
You just get throttled, which interrupts your whole workflow.
I thought it went without saying that GPT 5.6 Sol is the wrong model to use for things like filtering tweets. Apparently not?
You would think that no one would be stupid enough to use Fable or Sol for small one-off tasks like filtering tweets, but AI has opened up a lot of avenues for stupid people to ship code. It's only going to get worse.
If you factor in cost then it may well be, but it's definitely the case that the high-end models can get you significantly better results than the cheaper models even for tasks that feel like they should be straightforward.
