It isn't artificial, you are consuming resources and have to pay for it. You are not renting hardware for full month but buying some time share. It is similar to electricity from grid vs solar panels.

- mortureb 3y agoPeople consume resources doing a lot of things- your internet connection for example but a majority of home connections are essentially unlimited bandwidth for a fixed price. ChatGPT/Midjourney have found a way to bundle their offerings in a way that isn’t grating. It’s up to the companies to find a way to package that while still being able to make a reasonable margin so your customer base isn’t perpetually seething.
