You’re right. Even if I were right on the skew, I failed to account for OpenAI and Anthropic’s low %. I feel I projected my attitudes as a cost-insensitive consumer, when most RP (by token volume) is cost-sensitive.
I’m somewhat cost-insensitive too, I think that’s why I was quite surprised by the RP dominance finding; felt like a peek outside my bubble. Also even frontier models aren’t yet good enough at RP or fiction writing to sustain my interest, which seems to be a view the median LWer shares (I’d be surprised if this weren’t true), so I might’ve been projecting from there as well.
