> SPANKY: What Would It Cost Dollars To Buy The AI Tokens To Build A BBS Like This One?

I'd guess around $15.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "like this one."

A basic forum that works like every other forum wouldn't cost much at all. I apologize that I can't express it in terms of tokens or dollars. I use ChatGPT Pro $200 a month plan. I have limits but they are pretty large. I think it works out to about $15k a month in tokens right now and dropping to about $7500 in tokens in November. My guess is it would be about $25. Certainly under $100. (In ChatGPT terms).

If you want all of our anti-abuse mechanisms, then it would get a lot more expensive. Let's say 8x or more. But it could definitely be done.

My workflow is to use chat to brainstorm, interview myself, exchange ideas, and get the gist of the goal settled. Then I have the chat generate a prompt that I give to a lead agent. For ChatGPT this is nice because the chats are unlimited. It is only the agent work that costs credits.

I bet you remain at $15,000 in tokens come November.
