Totally agree. It comes down to how often is this thing efficient for me if I pay the true cost. At work, yes it would save over $50/mo if it works well. At home it would be difficult to justify that cost, but I'd also use it less so the cost could be lower. I currently pay $50/mo between ChatGPT and NovelAI (and the latter doen't operate at a loss) so it's worth a bit to me just to nerd out over it. It certainly doesn't save me money except in the sense that it's time and money I don't spend on some other endeavor.
My old video card is painfully slow for local LLM, but I dream of spending for a big card that runs closer to cloud speeds even if the quality is lower, for easier tasks.
