Someone should tell them that freemium doesn’t work well when there’s a linear increase in cost for every additional query, and when the business value for your exceptionally expensive product is nebulous at best.

    That's why they're pushing so hard now. They can't keep it free forever. They need you to become reliant upon it to perform even the simplest of tasks now so when they monetize usage it has already become a must have. That way they can count on your subscription no matter what.

    Welcome to the AI bubble. It's going to be a wild ride possibly taking other sectors if not a country or two with it when it falls from grace.

    I don't think these lemmings cheering for the bubble pop understand how bad this will be. Gotta happen sometime, better sooner than later, but fuck me it's going to be disastrous. Reminds of of October, 1929.
