Which is funny because I’ll take the free crack in this case lol. Am I addicted to this new workflow? No idea but there are many providers. I feel like I’m being given free VC money so yea, I’ll use it.

My expectation is that this cash handout is going to stop soon, so take while the giving is good right?

I should note that for my workflow /loop is eating the credits, so it’s basically no skin off my back. I just queue up some more work and let it go.

Sounds exactly like the person who is about to find out they are addicted

		Yup, or we'll find out there's nothing to fear for folks who are using this responsibly. It seems a huge "the sky is falling" to think all LLM use is bad for fear of some "addiction" to me. Even many skeptics (eg Hashimoto) have come around to the idea of using LLMs. One thing is clear in my mind. VCs are burning cash, and so if you have an LLM flow you find useful, take some free cash. The sky is not falling in this respect imo. Which is not a defense of AI, to be clear. AI may very well be a big societal problem, but in this context i don't see Hashimoto/etc becoming heroin addicts like ya'll are so concerned about. It's just a fancy autocomplete. The fear seems a bit over hyped.

		Stop, what, exactly? This is simply a new tool, not an AI girlfriend. We've had ML based autocomplete for 10 years now, why is it suddenly a new chicken-little for ya'll?
