Get a few GitHub Copilot accounts at 10 bucks each and use OpenAI models, they have very high usage limits I honestly struggle to even hit with one 10 dollar subscription.
I've interacted with that account before and they were always snarky, as if their test they made is the arbiter of intelligence and that we shouldn't be so impressed by AI that to me is actually impressive.
That's a weird sentiment. If you can concede that it could be "intrinsically" good, then why do you care where it came from?
It reminds me of part of the book trilogy Three Body Problem, where these aliens create human culture better than humans (in the humans' own perspective, in the book) by decoding and analyzing our radio waves to then make content. It feels to me much the same here where an unknown entity creates media, and we might like it regardless of who actually made it.
Resources are allocated to their constraints. You spend as much money as you have, as much time as you have, you hire as many people as you can afford, and so on.
It may be because people don't think on an absolute time scale but rather a relative one; if you make 1 million in revenue and you only have 3 employees, you might feel like you should hire more. What happens if you start making one billion in revenue?
Read Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber if you haven't already.
