When the cost of abuse lowers, so must the cost of defense. So of course cost-cutting has to happen. Otherwise it's going to be a financial DoS.
All that is though only if you want services to have free tiers. If you're willing to pay for everything then sure, it becomes easier. I'm actually quite certain one will encounter much less "AI" when stuff is actually being paid for.

- ntoskrnl 4y agoYou do have a point about the free tiers. I try to pay for things where I can, for example I'm a happy Fastmail user (and you should be too!) But paying for things is still no guarantee, see also: the OP. Google and Discord are both infamous for this. They treat paying users and free users the same. eBay charges for their service too, and I had a ~15 year old account banned. Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If you've been collecting my money for the past 15 years, can't you spare 5 minutes to sanity check your AI? I guess besides free users, the other exception is payment processors. I don't envy Stripe or PayPal.
