Why is AI spending so high?

The high spending on AI tools, like the £28,000 in 28 days by one Microsoft employee, can be due to several factors. These include per-use charges, subscription fees for advanced features, or the sheer volume of tasks being processed. It shows how quickly costs can escalate if usage isn't monitored or managed.
