Difference is that it was free to google/bing search. Ai prompting costs money.

If I run out of tokens on ChatGPT of course I will try Claude. I never ran out of Google searches so no reason to try Bing

You haven't searched hard enough then.

At some point Google gets suspicious of your persistent searches and makes you solve captchas and puts cooldowns on your searches.

OpenAI has a free tier. I'm guessing a lot of people never need to upgrade. Not the case for me but I can see the average person only needing to run a few prompts every day.

		My understanding is that most OpenAI users are on a free tier. Secondary effect of this is that OpenAI free tier model capability (assuming Luna) is what what most users associate with frontier AI capability giving somewhat warped view to many people.

More like the other way around - Claude burns tokens faster than any other LLM.
