It doesn't, though.
$200/mo of Claude may give you what would have cost tens of thousands of dollars to create in 2023, but the value of what it creates isn't there anymore. It should be compared against what it would cost to create with other tools, not against the cost of you doing it by hand.
Otherwise would be like justifying an obviously overpriced car, because "it saves me so much compared to carrying things thousands of miles by hand!"
Your comparison is wrong
It's not an expensive car vs. any car.
It's car vs. no car.
No, you are wrong. Or at least, incomplete.
The comment I replied to said "I need Claude because it's better than no AI.
That's like saying "I need the Porsche because it's better than no car".
Making a "car vs no car" argument is not an argument for an expensive car. Making an argument for an expensive car, requires both car vs no car, and expensive car vs any car. This is what I was pointing out above.
Is it? Because you can just download a car now.
