I’m starting to get the same feeling from AI tools that I used to get from streaming apps. Not because they’re similar products, but because I keep ending up in the same stupid situation: I try to keep things simple, then one specific thing pulls me back into another subscription. I’ll think, “Okay, I’m just going to use one main AI tool this month.” Then something happens. One tool handles a file better. Another one gives me a better answer for research. Another one is weirdly better when I’m stuck on writing. Then someone posts about a new model or feature and suddenly I’m checking whether it’s actually worth trying. It reminds me of wanting to watch one show and realizing it’s on a different streaming app than the one I’m already paying for. None of the individual subscriptions feel insane by themselves. That’s the trap. They all feel just reasonable enough. Then you look at the whole thing and realize “using AI” has somehow turned into managing a small pile of monthly decisions. submitted by /u/nodimension1553
