And I get it. The demos are impressive. The potential is real. The pressure to keep up is intense. But there's a cost conversation that's not happening. And it's going to hurt people. The Meter Is Always Running When you use AI, you're not buying software. You're buying tokens. A token is basically a chunk of text. A word. Part of a word.
