Lol. Lmao even. Rofl perhaps.

Something I’ve been noticing recently is that while the cost per token on specific models hasn’t gone up, the provided interfaces for using those models are starting to chew up significantly larger numbers of tokens for the same tasks that used fewer tokens with older versions of the interface software just a few months ago. Likely the interfaces are applying more expensive guardrail prompts and charging the end user for those tokens — but the end result is that it costs 4x as much to get the same work done.

How is it too expensive? Surely it's generating way more profit than it would cost in value. How else could it be propping up the entire economy?

Itd have to be some kind of bubble and that would mean we were in a lottttt of danger and should reasses our use of it.

Nah we should just reduce our use because its too expensive and then stop thinking about it beyond that.

That's funny now that whole workflows are automated with it. Oops hit the quota, I'm off

I’m confused. I thought employers loved AI and it was the future.

This is actually how the bubble begins to pop, we're seeing it happen now.

Why use many token when few do trick

We can only hope this helps kill the fad. I know companies won't be taking any realistic lesson from this, but at least this can force them to abandon a lot of this crap.

All over America, employees are saying "But YOU said..."

I smell a bubble about to burst...

So it has a negative ROI and anyone who brought it into their firm is a clueless twat who uncritically bought a sales pitch.

If corporate governance were not a joke, C-level heads would roll.

The millionaires following the stupidity of billionaires and wondering why they're not becoming billionaires too.

Give them 50 years and maybe they'll start to wonder why people doing "how to get rich" seminars aren't retiring... And why podcasters telling everyone how to get women seem like such losers.

This is why these companies should go bankrupt.

We had a system that works and they thought if they got rid of the actual workforce with the needed knowledge and replace them with lower paid AI retards it would make them more money, fucking karma.

I don't really understand how people are using so many tokens. At work I haven't even hit $200 I spend per month. Wtf are people doing with these things that burns so many tokens?

What’s this echoey sound? As if someone warned us about this exact fucking thing.

Curious.

The first half of the title got me worried...

Maybe they should get AI to do the AI prompts so they can cut down on costs XD

My company recently converted our PMs into Vine Engineers right after laying off actual engineers. They don't even know what git is or how to use it. 3 of them alone are using $7k a month in Claude tokens and they have not raised so much as a single PR.
