The Cost of AI Usage: Time To Throw In The Unrestrained Towel 

I keep hearing rumblings about AI pricing. So far most vendors seem content on charging on a subscription basis. Under that model you can input as much as you want at no increased cost.

With that model, the more you search and the more tokens you use, the higher the cost. Sort of like the billable hour ironically.
