Skill issue.

I think they're suggesting that because I blog about AI I get free tokens and don't have a conception of how much they cost?

I currently spend $100/month on OpenAI and $200/month on Anthropic.

(I often get free tokens as part of preview access to models, but I'm not allowed to share any code written by those models online for the duration of the preview. Most of my work is open source, so I can't actually do much with those free tokens!)
