tl;dr: too broke to afford a paid sub to an LLM. Are the free models and tokens enough to make using them worthwhile? Any specific model recommendations (Claude vs ChatGPT etc).
So, long story short, I'm trying to dive back into learning Japanese after minoring in it in college about a decade ago but never really using it (outside of my weeby interests, to limited degrees). I'm a fan of Atrioc and the Lemonade Stand podcast, where they talk about the downsides of AI/LLMs a lot but often make it a point to mention that they can be great for learning, with languages and structured, generated quizzes being a specifically-mentioned use-case.
However, I have two main concerns:
1.) Hallucinations / misc wrong info that I may not be able to verify the accuracy of, given I'm *learning*
2.) The crackdown on free daily token availability on many (all?) of the major players (ChatGPT, Claude, etc)
These two concerns may exacerbate the other, because I'm worried that in taking the extra responses to clarify or investigate potentially wrong info, I'll be burning through some more of the limited tokens. Maybe I just need to look more into getting the most out of a free plan, how I structure my prompts, etc. On the flip side, the models keep improving (in theory), so maybe less tokens won't matter as much as I think?
Anyway, yeah, I guess in summary I'm hoping to hear from anyone who is using a LLM to learn something (even better if it's also a language). Do you use the free versions? Which ones? If paid, do you think you could get a similar value out of the free version? How do you usually use it?
Any help appreciated, and thank you!
