> * On June 23, we’ll remove Fable 5 from those plans. Using it after that will require usage credits. If capacity allows, we’ll extend the included window.

Of course, they are a casino as well giving you free spins at the wheel with their new Fable machine, and it is done on purpose.

Once there freebies have expired, many of its users will begin to gamble more on the new casino machine and will realize that it is expensive.

If it's that big of a problem to you, you're free to just... not use the freebie?

It’s an interesting thing to bring up because it’s this classic thing we’ve seen for decades now.

The ramifications go beyond the individual which is why I assume they mentioned it. They don’t need to use it/not use it for it to have interesting implications.

so it'd be preferable if they didn't include the model at all?

		I didn’t say that and I don’t have a feeling on that either way. But this is a limited time trial and calling it out as such is valid. Is it nice we get the trial? Sure. Is it also a common play in the playbook of tech companies? Yes.

It's not a freebie, it still requires a subscription and burns tokens twice as fast as Opus.
