Cash credits made one user spend more time on prompts and fewer “yolo” tries

The author says that once Fable switched to cash credits only, they started spending more time crafting prompts so the model could solve the task in one shot.
- Because every attempt now burns credits, they are less willing to throw “yolo” prompts at the system.
- The result is that pricing changes behavior: the user becomes more careful, more deliberate, and less “ambitious” with experimentation.
- It is a small but useful observation about how metered AI products shape prompting habits.
