    I have NFI how anyone is able to spend more on tokens than humans cost unless they’re legitimately retarded

      I don’t know. I spend $100 per month to squeeze what amounts to probably one hour of actual useful work out of Copilot. And I dont make $100/hr.

      Of course, that doesn’t account for all the time I spent trying to get Copilot to actually do what I want and turn its very mediocre results into something actually useful.

      Not the path I would choose but some guy on a floor above me who makes three times my salary, despite being an actual moron, says we’re “AI first”.

      Depends on the workflow. Some are very token intensive especially with the newer models, and $50+ to run isn’t all that uncommon.
