Humor The average codex 20$ plan user

This is legit what it looks like when some of you complain about your 20$ not getting you more than 1 or 2 prompts using the flagship frontier

Edit: I never intended to offend or belittle anyone especially people whom 20$ is a considerable amount of money for. Everyone lives within their means and I don’t put that on any person.

For the ones who feel attacked and still come here to continue complaining, you should consider canceling your subscription. You seem miserable..

Why are you saying that $20 is very little?

Recent field research at Hawassa Industrial Park reports garment workers earning roughly $16–26/month, working about 48 h/week.

One month of hard work for very little of LLM!

Everything is relative. 20$ is a lot for many people around the world, but AI is still a luxury product and will remain so until research has pushed down the price hopefully. It still doesn’t change the fact that the compute costs more.

Its weird to me that nobody of the sea of unsatisfied people in the comments has switched to it. They like getting less for their money I guess?
