OpenAI Plots Charging $20,000 a Month For PhD-Level Agents: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-plots-charging-20-000-a-month-for-phd-level-agents

Here, I thought the whole point of LLM was to reduce salaries. 20k per month per postdoc comes to $240k pa. Postdoc salary is around $70k in the Bay Area and much less in the other parts of the world. This is more expensive than hiring an actual human. Many find spending $200 hard to pay for a pro account. The whole thing is a big scam based on stolen data to train AI and creating more environmental issues.

Works 24hrs a day. Doesn't need health or unemployment insurance. Doesn't get sick. Doesn't take PTO. Doesn't get writers block. Doesn't take breaks. Doesn't unionize. Doesn't need security or DEI training. Doesn't require a legal or HR department to manage their drama.

Even if the price point is too high, it can only go down from here.
