I'm choosing it for where I need it.

I started using Afforai as a test case compared to other tools and a ChatGPT+ account. I'm choosing it over other tools for various use cases - specifically those in which I don't want the contents to jump the fence (sure, I could turn off "share and train OpenAI on trade secrets"). It's only gotten better since my first use. While the output isn't GPT4 quality yet - even that will be behind with Claude 3's upcoming launch - I'm more focused on platform usability and quality-trained custom applications.

As long as Alec keeps his mission-mojo for the platform (had a call with him, a product-market fit interview, and the quality of his thinking and questions gives me hope that he'll find it), I don't doubt this will be a long-run winner for those who use it for research-based writing (books, articles, commenting) and documentation development. Because I'm not writing with the chatbot, I barely use any of my credits despite having significant chat engagements with the platform. Some will use the tool for other purposes, and they might need more for specialty use (small amounts of credits for use with connected platforms or inter-document connection).
