    Is there a free tier? I don’t know cuz I don’t really have any interest in this b*******.

    Can we all flood them with requests just to hasten the deadline?

      Short answer. No. Each AI service limits the number of free tokens you can use within a certain time frame.

      This means we could all do it but we’d be making like 5 requests per hour or 20 requests per day. It’s not nothing (because they don’t have enough paying users to subsidize the free users, and each free query costs them money), but in a cost to benefit analysis it’s probably better to just avoid all AI as best you can.

      Now, if you work for a company and they give you access to a pair tier? Use it for everything. Make AI launch your email app and calendar every morning. Tell it to order you coffee. Ask it questions morning, noon, and night. Burn those tokens. Make it hurt for the company to keep paying that subscription.
