Right Now You Have Better AI Tools Than a Fortune 500 Had Five Years Ago and They Are Free (Golden Era Part 3)

Andrew Miles Davis delivers the third instalment of his golden era series, completing his argument for why 2023 to 2026 represents a genuinely unusual window of opportunity in the history of digital. After covering the absence of advertising in AI responses and the lack of meaningful regulation in previous episodes, this one focuses on the most tangible reason of all: nearly everything you can currently do with AI, you can do for free. He draws on his own experience building a custom CRM in Google AI Studio at no cost, producing productivity tools that help him manage his RSI, and watching people in training sessions build in an afternoon what would have required an agency budget 18 months ago. He also gives a direct prediction about where pricing is heading, arguing that what you can currently get on a paid plan will become the free tier within a year, and what you get for free now will require a premium subscription. The closing message is simple: learn now while it costs nothing. Subscribe to In AI Nutshell for daily ten-minute episodes that stay honest about where AI is actually heading.
