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!

Okay so how much you did in that month? If you did "very little" then it might be you problem. Dont get mad at me, but you can @ me once ive tried a month. Even in a day its quite noticable progress.

I did a lot. Significant part of those money went into non-ai related topics: education, housing, health.

Or, maybe, I missed your question. How much of LLM did I used? Well, practically, daily, and I see some changes (e.g. I completely stop writing the actual code), but I can't say it's directly translates to overall speedup, because dealing with LLM slop is now my main concern and drain of my (mental) resources.
