On a similar note, I saw a story a bit back of someone saving input tokens by feeding the bot an image of a wall of text rather than the text itself and having it read the image via OCR.
Satire and reality are too hard too distinguish these days.
Saves input tokens and uses more output because of OCR, and output is priced way higher.
It's an accounting trick. It uses a different budget....
