If your AI features are so amazing, charge people extra for them and watch them pay.
The only reason to bundle AI and raise prices is that deep down you know the features aren't good enough to pay for, but you have to recoup the money you spent on them. And guess what, everyone is taking this option. Weird, right?
@rustyshelf My Google workspace just went up in price. They claim it’s because they’re giving me LLM features I don’t want, need, nor use.
Yet, there is a more expensive tier that gives you useful context window sizes etc.
Which means jacking my price up is just an excuse to extract more money per month from me.
Blah.
@rustyshelf I think the main reason for that is because investors want to see that large numbers of your users are using your AI features.
Used to be (e.g. dot-com bubble) the way you get large numbers of users is by giving stuff away for free.
With AI even that's not enough and you have to trick users into using it.
