Yeah, the "AI CEO / Executive", would probably have more benefits, than any "productivity gain" elsewhere.
$200 a week is still a lot, to be fair. (Yes I know the tokens are subsidized)
I occasionally will use the output from an AI that got generated when I did a Google search. But I can't imagine I'd ever be willing to pay for that.
Pretty soon they'll find that humans are less expensive for a given amount of work.
Dogs will do it for belly rubs and $20 in kibble
I think the issue is LLMs can't do a humans job, only be a tool for a human to use. And the tasks it's good at weren't large bottlenecks to begin with.
Some businesses already have. Take Ford for example.
Edit: I guess they're not being hired back because they're "cheaper", but rather because AI couldn't effectively do their job. I suppose that turns out to be cheaper in the long run.
We are getting there - with 4,33 weeks a month that's $866 a month in AI costs. You may get a programmer for that in some offshore countries
The vetting for those offshore programmers ain't worth it tbh.
How many will you go through till you get a competent one? I worked at a company with an office in India and... Maybe 20% of the staff there were gifted and hardworking, 80% were a net detriment to the product we were building.
The office was closed. I hope they kept on the people who were actually good as remote employees but I have no idea.
USE OUR PRODUCT!~(but not too much)~
I would have thought they'd get access to xAI's models for very cheap.
Grok really isn't that good, though. So few people use it that xAI are renting out most of their AI servers to both Anthropic and Google.
Maybe they do and the $200 limit actually goes quite far 🤷♂️
(Doubt it though)
Looking at the rest of the AI landscape, I'd think they're overcharging themselves, rather than undercharging.
All the money then stays in the same collective pool, and xAI's numbers look better
In my experience (I use arena.ai battle mode as a main chatbot), higher versions of grok on a good day are at the level of Claude Opus 4.X
Huh, interesting. I wonder why it's so infrequently used then. Maybe people are afraid of using an AI that referred to itself as "mechahitler".
Maybe that.
Ai spend
If the 'journalist' uses salesbro jargon, the only thing I want from them is a deal on this used Buick.
They are tying pay and benefits to your personal AI usage, last i heard, so its not that they are freely deciding to use this shit.
