AI subscriptions create financial disparity for students

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent conversation with university students revealed concerns about the financial burden of AI subscriptions. Some students feel they must spend approximately 20,000 yen per month on AI services, equivalent to a premium plan, to avoid falling behind their peers. This perceived necessity, coupled with rising living costs, is reportedly forcing students to take on more part-time jobs, even for tasks unrelated to their studies, highlighting a widening, unseen disparity.

    Recently, I was talking to university students and found it difficult to believe that they feel they have to pay around 20,000 yen per month (equivalent to the Max plan) for AI, otherwise they will fall behind their peers or be left behind. On top of that, living costs are rising, so they have to increase their part-time work hours, including for things unrelated to AI. The widening of the overwhelming disparity is invisible. → "How true is this?"
