@janeishly If I wanted to maximise token usage, I wouldn’t be asking for code; I’d be asking the chatbot to do something like “Give me a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of Tolstoy’s War and Peace, explaining why each of the main characters acts the way they do.” That would generate way more output than a linked list in Python.
If the company tried to constrain the chatbot to just its products, ask it to explain something trivial about a product, like “Why is the off button red, and the other buttons are not? I don’t understand.” Then, whatever response comes back, keep repeating, “I still don’t understand. Can you give me a better explanation with more detail.”
You could burn a lot of tokens doing that. And it’d easily be scriptable.
So avoid doing that
