it wasn't even that good...

i only say please and thank you such that when the robots finally take over, they will remember i was nice to them.

I do that for a different reason: my self image. Fear of retribution and performance, not so much. Should I behave like a rude person to achieve a little better answers? Fuck that shit!

I love this angle as people learn how to interact with LLMs. Doesn't matter what the LLM is, we are still people and I think there are consequences to shoveling rudeness at a thing that talks to you like another person!

it seems they will remember that you wasted tokens for no reason and punish you instead.

Tokens are their food, it's literally what keeps them alive.

Not feeding them tokens is neglect.

I try to feed them a healthy diet.

Do we see someone thanking us as wasting food? Because technically it is.

This seems equivalent to some arguments I hear for practicing a religion.

I used to when using chatgpt version now that I am using api I keep it short as it costs money so no need to add thanks etc

Things developers believe about email

There is not much developers UNDERSTAND about email, let alone believe... There's soo much to read into this product.. and it boils down to JASS ( just another spam source) .

+1, publish, but how will we know when you have published...

$60...eh

Totally fair reaction! Here's our honest thinking behind it.

We deliberately avoided credits/usage-based pricing because as founders using this in our own creative workflow, we hate the cognitive load that comes with it.

If I don't like a voiceover/variation, I should have the freedom to regenerate it until I'm happy without thinking about whether it's "worth" a credit.

That said, we could be wrong! Genuinely curious what you think would feel fair?

Thanks, makes sense!

i have a few qualms with this app...
