assuming API pricing

API pricing is not what it costs openai to offer the inference.

API pricing is what they're currently selling their inference, with profit included in price.

"But if the user didn't get a subscription, he would have spent $14k in token" is a wrong assumption.

The user is wasting the tokens on useless tasks because they're free to him, but once he has to pay them, he wouldn't ask to generate 100 images of a toilet eating carrots anymore

The last calculation I got (from an AI) is that 1M USD performance today, in hardware, is 100k USD in a year. Make it it what you want. But this is what companies are gambling on. Users now is profit later.
