They conclude by asserting that ai-adjacent apps should “get rid of that damn model picker” and “be more like insurance”. As if the insurance industry wasn’t one of the most predatory, parasitic, scummy and user-hostile industries out there.
Please don’t follow this advice, we don’t need _more_ opacity and insurance-like companies.
I also personally think think that the “point it at the mosh of your choice” mechanism will only become _more_ popular, not less.
For developers, the model picker is the right choice because we do care about it. For more mainstream "normie" users - not so much.
Why can’t I just pay for what I actually use? I do that for electricity and my landline — why can’t I do the same for my mobile phone, internet, video streaming, AI, etc.
Power user vs. normie products haven't emerged yet.
Another sign we're early in AI.
