Your setup is the whole difference

I spent over $5,000 on AI — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and every wrapper tool in between. The model was never the problem. I was. Most people blame the model when they get bad output. But a smart model with no context doesn't stop and ask what you meant. It guesses. And you pay for every guess. In this video I go through 5 things I learned the expensive way — why your config files aren't working, why nobody manages their rules, and why guessing costs more than the answer itself. ⏱ Chapters 0:00 5 things that I learned after spending $5,000+ on AI 0:33 Config files aren't a waste of tokens 1:32 Everyone agrees config files work, but nobody manages them 2:36 Don't be hyped with AI orchestration tools 3:33 AI burns more tokens guessing what you meant than doing the work 4:42 The most expensive AI model is not always best 5:35 Way that I solved AI hallucinations and configs settings 🔗 Links Tool I built: www.transcodes.io #AI #ClaudeAI #AIAgents #CursorAI #PromptEngineering #ChatGPT #AIWorkflow #ContextEngineering #DeveloperTools #AIProductivity
