I want to quit using AI cause the cost is just too high
I had a GitHub CoPilot Pro license for a long time for $10 per month and this worked fine. Then all of a sudden the price went up in April and I had to make a new plan.
I then tried ChapGPT Plus for month for $20 per month, which was more than I really wanted to spend, but it's all I could find at that point. I was using it mainly for writing code for my personal side projects and some work projects (but I'm not a software developer at work).
I found Opencode Go and that sort of worked for a while even though I had to use OpenCode Zen with a $10 credit limit. Around this time I found Hermes and started implementing it with my work and personal stuff.
Now DeepSeek came out with new pricing and forced Opencode's hand and now I'm back to where I was with GitHub CoPilot, but a lot more dependant on AI because now I use Hermes too. And I feel like it took some time to get Hermes to the point where it is now.
I feel like we'll keep going through this cycle until we eventually realise that AI costs are too high or you just make peace with it and pay $20+ per month.
I don't spend a lot of money on subscriptions. I have Netflix and Google One in addition to OpenCode Go.
So what now? Quit? Use Mimo. Make peace and go with ChatGPT Plus until I find something else? I don't want to try Command Code because it just sounds like another Opencode Go and I'll be back here in 2 months.
