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.
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
None… or Apple Intelligence, if you count being in the Apple Ecosystem as paying for it. The only way I know of to pay directly is to use the new creative suite, which is like $13/month. I don’t have that.
I don’t actively support (or use) any of them, and my computer/phone platform of choice since 2016 (so, before this mess) always used the derpy AI (Siri/Apple Intelligence).
Perplexity
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.
People pay for this shite? 🤣
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.
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 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?
What do you need from Office that you pay for it? There are great free alternatives
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.
They’d have to pay ME to use their bullshit, and it wouldn’t be cheap.
I’m in IT, my company is trying to offer it as a service and sell it. I’m fully against it, but can’t voice my opinion since I do like my job and what I do. It really sucks.
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.
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
none. I have never, and will never, pay for it.
I’ve paid for a few months of Midjourney to create some portraits for a few gaming characters. That’s about it.
