That being said, your proposal basically forbids using AI made available by the big global players, where the music is currently playing. While it is legitimate to do that, this privileges rich DDs who can afford big hardware to run local models or DDs with a corporate sponsor.
The same will be true for anything from the big players, once the subsidized plans run out. I especially love the plans that cost $100 per month and include $200 "worth" of tokens.

Is "public AI" as you define already available today, and what would be the approximate costs to make use of that? How good is the code produced by public AI today, compared to what for example claude produces?
Which pricing tier of Claude are we comparing against? Simon
