How much did you spend on AI last month?


Show us your receipts! I think it would be enlightening to know what it costs to use these toys - er - tools. Whatever you are building. If you are using AI, tell us what it cost you.

I have spent $0 on AI.

I tried it once for the first time a couple weeks ago. $12 total. While it was "worth it" if converting the dollars to time saved, it's also telling that I haven't gone back and used it again.

I’m retired, I code because it’s something i enjoy doing. Having a machine do it for me is really missing the point.

I have watched videos and read articles on it, I like to stay informed, but I have never spent anything on AI tools, or used them on any of my projects.

I have a subscription for Gemini ($10/month) but it also gives me access to their antigravity services which is useful for keeping track of "agentic" coding tools & dispelling the constant marketing hype.
