> Second, imagine the same argument applied to a utility like electricity.

Isn’t that how electricity works? You purchase electricity directly from the producer, and buy additional plugins (literally) that work with the single source of electricity you’re purchasing.

That would be akin to giving each of the 'plugins' your GPT API key and pay the usage bill directly to OpenAI. The plugin developers would still want $$$ for the app even if the GPT usage was excluded though.

Wouldn't it be a one-time purchase then? "Buy my prompt for $10 that enables you to search your codebase"

And we're back to Prompt Engineers :)

I think an IDE plugin or standalone app takes slightly more work than writing a prompt, but sure
