What would the explanation for charging money here be though? The user is already paying for the license and they're using their own hardware and power to do so

What would the explanation for charging money here be though? The user is already paying for the license and they're using their own hardware and power to do so. It'd be like charging per use of any other advanced features in locally-run Adobe software.
- taneq 3y agoYeah, that’d be as crazy as charging car owners a subscription fee to use their heated seats.

To pay for the privilege of using a very advanced AI model. That's more reasonable than paying to unlock a game character skin that's already on your SSD, and that happens millions of times a day. > It'd be like charging per use of any other advanced features in locally-run Adobe software. I don't see anything stopping this.

There are all kinds of locally-run advanced features that are only enabled with a more expensive subscription tier even though you already have the code and assets for them. Sure, most are merely subscription based, but there are others that are per use.
