V2EX User Claims First AI Hype Wave Has Passed, Citing Price Drops and Reduced Topic Share
English summary
A V2EX user argues that the initial peak of AI coding hype has passed, based on four personal observations. Reported resale prices for ChatGPT Plus and Gemini Pro subscriptions have collapsed to around ¥15 and ¥12 respectively, signaling reduced demand. The share of AI-related topics on the V2EX forum fell from nearly 100% to a lower level. The user's own token consumption decreased after initial project stabilization. Additionally, interest in 'vibe coding' on Xiaohongshu has waned as non-coders who quickly built apps no longer generate new ideas to sustain activity.
