I just want to know what are the best things to type into these ai chat boxes that will cost the most. If my company wants me to use this garbage then I want to make it as expensive as possible and when their liscenses need to be repurchased I want it to be as expensive as possible to continue to force this garbage on us
Edit. Hey everyone lots of great replies here, please keep the suggestions, fixes, corrections etc coming!
These high prices are not from people talking to chatbots.
They’re using agentic tools where their prompt spawns a lot of bots which talk to themselves/the other bots and they keep going until someone (usually a higher quality reasoning model) decides that they’ve met the goals of the task that they were assigned.
So instead of 1 prompt and 1 response, you get 1 prompt and 800 responses across 5 different bots each using really large context windows.
you don’t get this to happen by just talking to any chatbot and asking for agents. you have to specifically use “agentic” tools (usually costs money to use)
Input tokens are cheap. Output tokens are the thing that really costs money. There is a Claude extension called caveman that tries to save tokens by making it use shorter sentences with less words. So if you want to waste money, do the opposite - ask it to use lengthy sentences with as much words as possible.
Also - some words amount to multiple tokens. I don’t know what the rules are exactly, but I’m assuming that more complex and uncommon words are worth more tokens - and thus waste more money.

So to answer his question how do you make that happen? What do you ask to prompt these bots to be spawned?

Well I can apparently create agents so how can I make the most inefficient agent possible?
you would be mostly burning your own money if you did this, so I wouldn’t recommend it (depends on how the agent is priced)
Just attach a bunch of text files, you’ll blow through tokens quickly
