The issue is the cost is not going to be a hindrance for companies that have gone all in on the AI development. They may still find it cheaper than hiring engineers and if needed they will layoff a few more.

The companies that did not yet jump on this bandwagon and are still evaluating will have a decision to make.

No matter what the AI companies are going to change their pricing strategy and it’s going to become a lot lot more expensive to use. I am just hoping the price stays like this until I am done with my big chunk of work
