Agree. The "age of AI" is just a simplified monicker hiding more complex changes in society that have been going on for longer already. Take any 2016 post about algorithms and replace "algorithm" with "AI". Chat bots, automization, remote work and globalization make many people spend their work isolated in front of a computer or a factory machine the whole day, while more people actually worked together with other people in earlier times.

Paid AI doesn't live up to its promise. Most services let you test paid plan previews and you can see they're still flawed and prone to errors nevertheless. It's just that you get more computation time and don't rapidly run out of tokens. But if your one man "team" has different team roles, they might all have their own accounts and email adresses and browser profiles for sure? Thus each one of them has another fresh free AI session when their "coworker" ran out of tokens? Just an idea so you can better evaluate what you are missing out or not.
