They're the ones serving the expensive traffic. Wut if people were to form a volunteer bot net to waste their GPU resources in a similar fashion, just sending tons of pointless queries per day like "write me a 1000 word essay that ...". Could even form a non-profit around it and call it research.

Their apis cost money, so you’d be giving them revenue by trying to do that?
