Can the Public Afford AGI Usage?

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is possible, but its usage by the public is still far away.

• Building AGI can cost millions to billions of dollars, making it feasible only for governments and affluent groups.
• For example, a GPT-3.5 model costing $0.002 per 1K tokens can cost $200 per hour if 100,000 tokens are processed in an hour.
• However, AGI requires much more computing power, making it even more expensive.
• Assuming AGI needs 100 petaflops, it could cost anywhere from $3 million to $30 million for just one hour.

So for now, NO
