I think something like this is a great idea. The particular numbers he used don't add up though. $0.001 per word generated by AI is more than what OpenAI charges for GPT-4 which is $0.06 per 1000 tokens or approximately $0.00008 per word.

(I'm co-author of this piece.) You're right, and that's the exact idea: it will make LLM-generated text much more expensive but still a couple of orders of magnitude cheaper than a professional writer.

  That makes many applications infeasible because the user conversion cost will be too high. It means you can't provide even one free trial run unless you are VC funded.

    Open-source, research, and small companies would be exempt.
