Ignoring that those numbers aren't directly comparable, it did make me wonder, if I had to give up either "AI" or chocolate tomorrow, which would I pick?

Even as an enormous chocolate lover (in all three senses) who eats chocolate several times a week, I'd probably choose AI instead.

OpenAI has alternatives, but also I do spend more money on OpenAI than I do on chocolate currently.

I am just trying to help you write better. Your writing says "if I had to give up either AI or chocolate [...] I would probably choose AI". However, your language and intent seems to be that you would give up chocolate.

It’s a bit of a weird comparison, AI vs a luxury sweet.

Maybe instead of the chocolate market, look at the global washing machine market of $65 billion.

I’d rather give up both AI and chocolate than my washing machine.

If you really wanted to know you could stop eating chocolate or stop using ai and see if you break. Or do both at different times and see how long you last without one or the other.
