So if I spent hours taking bollocks to an ai assistant, it would burn up money for either the ai company or the company using AI? If I’ve got nothing better to do, is there a downside?
From personal anecdotal experience: chatting for hours would cost the company a few cents at most. In our company, developers are encouraged to try it out, and there are a few projects that use it a lot. The user with the highest cost has been using it in a loop, with minimal human intervention (and hence downtime), and it cost the company 2000 bucks for a month.
With “normal” use, even extensive, it’s very hard to go above 50 bucks.
I don’t know the company’s agreement with the provider - I’m guessing this is on top of a subscription cost - but either way if you want to make a real dent just chatting isn’t going to do it.

Ask it to calculate a few billions of places of pi between each answer
Nah, word volume between you and it burns tokens the most, so post the full bee movie script, and ask it to write a 5k essay about it, over and over
specifically, output tokens. The more it has to write back, the more it costs
Downsides include environmental impact, and the usage might skew the company’s involved to belief it’s more useful than it really is
