People pay for this shite? 🤣

All of them. Not directly, but RAM and SSD price explosions hurt. Also buying electricity for my home heater from the same market as billion dollar data centers hurt too

They'd have to pay ME to use their bullshit, and it wouldn't be cheap.

oh the mistake of writing "AI" in lemmy lol. I have made this mistake before, you'll recover

I’ve paid for a few months of Midjourney to create some portraits for a few gaming characters. That’s about it.

Gemini, use it a lot as an AA I'm my work, reviewing emails and RFPs

eh, i figure we'll all pay for it some day, when an overzealous capitalist AI harvests the poor for raw material.

I don't pay for a single one, I'll use their free services for a specific question to have it summarize the internet basically. I try and avoid chatgpt.

At work we have an internal AI system, and Claude. I utilize both of these to make my workload smoother - but have been finding myself just coding more often than using them because they almost all eventually produce garbage and refuse to listen when you say it's wrong.

none. I have never, and will never, pay for it.

i've never had the need or want to use any AI, so that's a none for me dawg

Can someone explain clearly what value you can get from a paid LLM that you can't get from what is freely accessible?

I get the Proton AI with my subscription but barely use it

Claude plans for both personal and corporate. My personal is the $100 plan.

And then I have a small amount of credits for API usage on Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter.

Haven’t really jumped on the Cursor train and I think I have Jetbrains AI product sub that I should probably cancel.

Had Github Copilot for a bit a while back but canceled that.
