I completely agree. I also think cheaper models will still exist, but the gap between those and super-expensive “superpower” models will grow. Future AI seems headed toward a “pay-to-win” landscape, making it harder for smaller players to compete. Your point about maintaining foundational skills is so important, especially as accessibility may shrink over time.

Wow, not sure how my comment got reeeeeally jumbled. My cats probably ran across the keyboard and messed it up 😂

And definitely. It's like with SEO tools. Yeah, you can access some functionality for free, but it's certainly not everything if you want a complete picture/strategy. I end up doing all the content gap analysis work manually so I don't have to pay.

Same with AI.

And I think people think of ~just~ generative AI, whether words, code, or images, when they think of AI, but that's such a limited view of what's actually out there. I use SkedPal to organize my entire life, and that uses AI models to structure my day based on parameters. Since I struggle with time/energy management and prioritization, the $17/month is MORE than worth it for me. Way more than, say, a ChatGPT subscription.

I think what'll happen as we move forward is people will need to decide what they want to outsource with AI, automate through tech, and do manually, and that'll ultimately come down to brand values and ROI.

I rarely use generative AI in my writing because it'd suck the joy out of it for me since I like being a writer, even though I'm sure someone could make the case I'd have a higher ROI if I did. Same with cold emails. I could send like 2,000 cold emails a day if I wanted to, but I don't because I'd rather write each individually to make a connection -- but I wouldn't shame someone for using AI in ways I don't. (which is where people go wrong)

Either way, I think people will need to weigh a lot of different factors to keep costs low, and it's good for them to figure out what's ACTUALLY important/valuable/meaningful to them sooner than later so they can make the best decision for them.

Future models will bring huge value, and costs should match ROI, but it’ll be a tough road, especially for consumers.

I think the jury is still out on the huge value. I'll believe it when I see it

I was just thinking the same, as I’m not really a Telegram user. Thanks for asking and for others who shared the answer.
