Not even free, just cheaper than an actual employee for now, but greed is inevitable and AI is computationally expensive, it’s only a matter of time before these AI companies start cranking up the prices.
Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

Only it’s not free. If you run it in the cloud, it’s heavily subsidized and proactively destroying the planet, and if you run it at home, you’re still using a lot of increasingly unaffordable, power and if you want something smarter than the average American politician, the upfront investment is still very significant.

Vaccines are misinformation? What.
