The discussion started about cost-vs-usability, and then you brought in "but humans, the best LLMs around, cost much more" into this discussion to make it a not cost-vs-usability discussion. Do you not find it a bit disingenuous?

Not really, no. My point is that a $100/mo LLM subscription is generating $5000/mo in value, so even a negligible difference in performance wipes out the cost savings completely.
Same reason it makes sense to assign a team of humans that cost $100k/mo to a product that brings in $5M/mo, rather than one human with 5 Claude Max subs.
The cost is a rounding error.
