Do you think monthly AI 'subscriptions' are going to be $100 a month in 5 years? These people using these would probably be on $200/month subscriptions and with that OPs assertion of 'shoving away and paying with interest' makes no sense.

It’s fair to compare the two options.

Our assumptions may differ - and that’s ok... The monthly costs may go down too.
