PSA: There is a student plan for Le Chat Pro. 5,99 € + tax

I’m francophone and damn “le chat” just seems like a ridiculous name ngl.

I’m sticking to my free LLM’s through https://duck.ai/ for now.

Is this actually worth paying for? I'm a pretty casual LLM user so it feels a bit hard to justify what works out at around £12.50 per month. Not a student either so can't get a discount.

Older dude question here: are students so wealthy nowadays they can spend that much money every month for a single service? Heck, back in my 20s I could not afford most books I was required to read for university (I love you, libraries & used book stores). I also befriended the girl selling the tickets at the cinema, so she would let me in for free (plus, she was a cool gal too, I was not that hypocritical ;)

Also, if we are to adopt EU AI instead of the US-based ones shouldn't they try their hardest to get more customers by lowering their price? Even more so in regards to younger customers, aka potentially very long-term customers. Or did I miss something?

To me, those so called 'reduced' pricing are more like a worrying sign there is a growing disconnect between some businesses and their customers.
