that is absolutely false - the capital and resources used to create these things are societal scale. An individual consumer is not paying that cost at this time.

You can make the same argument about humans. The employeer doesnt pay the full cost and time to create the worker from an embryo to a senior dev.

Unless you are advocating for executing developers when they are no longer capable of working, that’s a bit of a non sequitur.

Humans aren’t tools.

That only proves the point. If something increases the value of someone’s time by 5% and 500,000,000 people are affected by it, the cost will collapse.

These models are only going to get better and cheaper per watt.

What do you base this claim on? They have only gotten exponentially more expensive for decreasing gain so far - quite the opposite of what you say.
