- jelder 8mo agoYou can't trust a product that uses ads, because then you are the product.
- simianwords 8mo agohow? i trusted google and youtube and it works out pretty fine for me. same with any other service that has a free ad supported tier.
- recursive 8mo agoFor many people, that's a risk they're willing to take for free stuff.
- Someone1234 8mo agoThis impacts a non-free plan; their $8/month plan now has ads too.
- liuliu 8mo agoI agree. It is either ads, or Anthropic way (which is: you are too poor to use our ChatBot). There is no other way to pay the > $1 trillion per year CapEx for building these chat bots. Would there be other way? Sure, it could be government-funded, like our public school system. But it is not possible in current political climate. Money doesn't grow on trees, and tokens cost a lot of money. There will be divide into people who can afford these tokens and people who cannot. I feel it is better to have ways to let people who cannot afford these tokens to have some ways to try it.
