Once all the discounts disappear, how much are you willing to pay for AI?

Summary

The article speculates on future AI pricing after discounts disappear, arguing that as AI reaches human-expert quality, the real consideration becomes the value of users' time.

Once OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. eventually remove all the discounts and we have to bear the actual cost of AI, in such a case, how much are you willing to pay for AI? By that time, I believe we will have models and workflows capable of matching human expert-level work or going beyond that. So the question will be: how much is your time worth, since quality is out of the equation? You can give the raw price, a percentage of your income, or both. I strongly believe this question will not be hypothetical in a matter of months, if not a few years.
