Ok..... and? Why do any of these people need an AI subscription, let alone the pro version?

It actually seems like they are talking about businesses using it, so I'm not sure why it's being compared to an employee's wage.

So you're telling me.... they're gonna catch up with us as we cause irreparable psychosis to ourselves and fall behind them, nice, happy for them

costs nothing if you don't care about ai or don't use the service.
