AI companies keep advertising smarter models, but intelligence means nothing if normal users are afraid to use them because every prompt destroys their allowance.
The real AI competition won’t just be capability. It’ll be who delivers the most useful work per dollar.
@1DigitalC@claudeai Funny, but Codex handles the same type of task with a similar outcome while using waaaaaay less of my allowance. The usage difference is the issue.
@FallenZeraphine@claudeai More compute should mean higher usage. It doesn’t explain why Codex handles the same task with a similar outcome while using waaaaaay less of my allowance.
@rim_raff@claudeai I use Codex for the same tasks and get good results with waaaaaay less usage. Calling the user an idiot doesn’t explain why the usage difference is so extreme.
@ggorbalan@claudeai I use Codex for the same ‘shitty work’ and the outcome is solid while using waaaaaay less of my allowance. That’s the comparison you’re missing.
@Bec_BTC@claudeai I’m not complaining about the price. I’m questioning whether a plan that consumes 15% on one routine task provides predictable capacity for serious work.
@LuminousTheReal@claudeai Exactly, and the rocket launcher used 15% of its fuel shooting one ant. That makes me question how much useful work it can complete before the session limit.
@0xDenysK@claudeai That inconsistency is exactly the issue. Similar users are reporting wildly different usage for comparable tasks. Limits need to be more transparent and predictable.
@OwenKemeys@claudeai If I’m paying for access to the world’s smartest man, I’d expect him to handle both simple and difficult tasks without using 15% of my weekly allowance.
@ClaudeDevs I just used that model for a simple web search and I'm down 15%. Everything is great about it except the session limit. If a simple web search prompt causes it to kill 15% of your session, something is broken.
