Picture this for example:
I do 1 prompt that costs 10 cents to process and get a good response.
Or:
They lower the quality of the model so when I do a prompt it only costs 2 cent to process and I may get a good response or not. I can now do 5 prompts for the same cost of the previous 1 prompt. Now the user just has to spend more time to achieve the desired result.
In my opinion, they should offer different tiers for different models or give an option to select the response your require for the given prompt, e.g.
- You get 100 credits every 3 hours
- a low effort prompt costs 1 credit so you can do 100 of those for your available credits
- A standard prompt costs 2.5 credits so you can get 40 prompts
- a premium prompt costs 5 credits and gives a higher quality reply but you can only do 20 of those with your 100 credits
So if you could choose the quality of the answer you require with each prompt you’d have more control. When a low or standard quality response don’t give you the desired response you can pull the ace card and force a good response at a premium cost.
