We are in the process of implementing a chatbot for our local government site with intentions to deploy for internal use only for testing. We are having problems quantifying is the cost around token consumption. I know that cost varies depending on the model used, but does anyone have any useful estimators. Consumption calculators I have found don't seem particularly useful. What methods for estimating cost did you use? Did you use number of searches against the site?

I am interested in people who have tried generative AI coding projects. In your experience, are there project attributes that make generative AI coding capabilities a "good fit"? Are there project attributes that are likely indicators that generative AI will not result in something useful? I would think complexity of requirements is a big factor. If the complexity of the project or its requirements is low - I assume genAI coding can get you within the ballpark. For instance, logic stores: if your project has critical business logic spread out all over the place and not centralized I think that generative AI would not be able to make sufficient sense of that.

What are some less obvious or downstream opportunity costs you’ve encountered with AI implementation?
