It's for the best.

Learning how code works is better than getting an LLM to produce convincing looking code without anyone having an understanding of how it works.

LLMs just teach students to paint themselves into a corner without them even realising why bad things keep happening to them.

So it begins. We are past the unlimited money stage and now the cuts begin to make AI somewhat profitable.

Expect more of that in the coming months.

Same process as used by drug dealers: first you can try for free, you get addict, then you have to pay.
