So is it worth paying money to use any of this shit yet? I’m having a shit time trying to get ChatGPT to make a spreadsheet with any level of complexity to it like formulas or tabs with drop downs etc. it did a decent job just spitting out the basic stuff.

Can't speak for spreadsheets but Claude has been a generational leap in technology. I am using it to write nearly 100% of my code in production.

I have subs to OpenAI, Anthropic, and X/SuperGrok. All are amazing and incredibly useful. Can create just about anything.

What does the subscription get you? I've been mostly using Gemini and I find it super useful but I don't know what I would want to pay for.

I heard someone describe the current AI business model as "selling hundred dollar bills for a buck". I wonder how affordable it will be if this eventually shakes out into a couple of huge companies and the rest go bankrupt.

For Claude you get access to the latest models and a varying amount of tokens. Now it becomes tokenomics.

Gemini is mostly fine but it's not in the same league of anthropic models. They are revolutionary.

Eh, I think that's all a marketing ploy. I'm sure the training is expensive, but I think the costs of actually running the models is overblown. The top open models may not be quite as good as Claude, but they're probably in the same ballpark of cost to run, and 3rd party providers offer then at a fraction of the cost. And the models are getting MUCH more efficient. I've posted it a few times before, but anyone with a good gaming pc can run a local model today better than Claude from a year ago.
