I was paying openai, but with all the current politics, it looks like I’m probably going to switch to Anthropic.
I don’t have the resources or patience to run my own.
People pay for this shite? 🤣
eh, i figure we’ll all pay for it some day, when an overzealous capitalist AI harvests the poor for raw material.
They’d have to pay ME to use their bullshit, and it wouldn’t be cheap.
Not much. But I did pay actual money for Sid Meier’s CivilizationⓇ VI, which includes AI that controls the computer players. That’s the one that comes to mind just because its performance was so amazingly weak.
I get the Proton AI with my subscription but barely use it
lumo. it’s (begrudgingly) been useful a few times
I make mine address me as comrade and that’s kinda fun at least.
I keep forgetting Proton has an LLM model available
Perplexity
oh the mistake of writing “AI” in lemmy lol. I have made this mistake before, you’ll recover
It’s funny considering people are clearly paying for it.
And thanks for checking in. We need more kindness like that in the world :D
I pay nothing and just rotate between gmail accounts when one hits a usage limit. I have about a dozen accounts so between all of them i get about as many tokens as i would a single paid account.
I started doing it first with Cursor AI, and i still use that too, but now googles Anti-gravity gives access to Claude and the usage limits are separate from the limits for Gemini. With all of it combined I have more then enough usage to do whatever i want without paying any of the corps a dime.
I run it locally when needed. Can do LLMs and ImageGen, and i’m not stuck with those companies. Installation for LLMs was stupid easy, Imagegen was a bit more involved. Since I’m a Gamer, I already need a beefy GPU, so it’s nice to have a second use for my hardware.
None, I find the free plan enough for me.
It seems that Thaura and Lumo are not beholden to big tech or involved in genocide / mass surveillance, so I’m comparing those at the moment. But I keep my usage as low as absolutely possible.
I pay for Copilot because I have an Office subscription for the family. I never asked for Copilot to be included in it, but here we are.
There is a way to downgrade to Office Family Classic that removes the co-pilot features and is cheaper.
Oooh gonna look that up tx
🙏
It’s ridiculous and should be illegal. I hope you get it figured out!
Did your price change when Copilot got included?
I don’t think so
What do you need from Office that you pay for it? There are great free alternatives
Nothing. But the family wants Office and I’m not imposing my ideology on them.
Why would I pay for a service to get things wrong. I can do that on my own for free
Seeing as AI has been in video games since about 1977, I’d say quite a lot.
None of this new horseshit though, fuck all that. It’s just a buzzword for morons.
Yeah whoever had the idea of selling LLMs like they are AGI I hope has a special room in hell.
Perplexity and grammarly
