For commercial use at scale, of course cost matters.
For the average Joe programmer like me, GPT4 is already "dirt cheap". My typical monthly bill is $0-3 using it as much as I like.
The one time it was high was when I had it take 90+ hours of Youtube video transcripts, and had it summarize each video according to the format I wanted. It produced about 250 pages of output.
That month I paid $12-13. Well worth it, given the quality of the output. And now it'll be less than $7.
For the average Joe, it's not expensive. Fast food is.
