The AI boom is so huge it’s causing shortages everywhere else The $700 billion AI spending spree has few precedents. Good luck finding an electrician or a reasonably priced smartphone. (archive.is)

While I agree with you, is there anyway to know how much an average prompt (let’s say a coding question that used to be a quick google search) costs?

I really want to ask people, would you pay X per prompt?

Cause most people “love” AI cause it costs very little
