The lie we've all been sold

You know the one: "Our AI is free!" You sign up, start building workflows around it, then months later you’re staring at a new pricing page, a restricted API, or a feature that suddenly vanished.

Last month, I asked a popular AI agent to debug a Python memory leak. It gave me a solid answer. The next day, I asked the exact same question — and it started from zero, suggesting the same solution like it had never seen the problem before.

That’s not intelligence. That’s amnesia with a chat interface.
