Google's New AI Ultra Plan: Is It Worth the Jumpman Price Tag?

Another One? Google's Jump Shot into the AI Subscription Game

Alright alright settle down folks. Word on the street is Google's dropping a new AI subscription service something they're calling 'Google AI Ultra.' Sounds fancy right? Like the kind of name you'd slap on a pair of signature shoes... only this time it's for artificial intelligence. And the price? Let's just say it's aiming for the rafters at $249.99 a month. I've seen less expensive golf clubs.

30 Terabytes? Sounds Like Enough Storage for All My Championship Rings

They're talking about giving you a 'massive' 30 terabytes of storage. 'Massive,' huh? That's like saying the Bulls had a decent run in the 90s. Okay it’s pretty substantial. Apparently it’s for storing all the 'cutting edge' AI stuff you'll be playing with. Gemini this Flow that... sounds like a bunch of new teammates I gotta learn to trust on the court. Remember talent wins games but teamwork and intelligence wins championships... and apparently keeps your data safe.

Early Access? I'm Always Early. It's Called Being Prepared

This 'Ultra' plan also gets you 'early access' to experimental projects. I've always been about being early. Early to practice early to the game early to dominate. But let's be real early access can also mean 'we're still figuring this out but you get to pay us to be a guinea pig.' But Google is promising a premium experience and let's just see if it lives up to the promise.

Competition Heating Up? Good. That's When I Perform Best.

Now Google's doing this because the competition's getting fierce. This ChatGPT cat is out there and they're trying to keep up. Makes sense. Competition is what fuels greatness. It’s like the Pistons trying to rough me up back in the day – it only made me come back stronger. So Google wants to monetize their AI and diversify revenue streams. Smart move.

DeepThink Mode? I've Been in DeepThink Mode My Whole Career

This plan throws in Google's AI app Gemini with the new 'DeepThink' mode. DeepThink huh? I've been in DeepThink mode since I was a rookie. Analyzing defenses strategizing my next move... it's all about being one step ahead. But a computer being in DeepThink mode? That's a whole new level of mind games. Let’s see how it plays out on the court.

So Is It Worth It? Only Time (and Your Wallet) Will Tell

So the big question: Is Google AI Ultra worth the price of a pair of limited edition Jordans? I can't answer that for you. It depends on how much you value being on the 'cutting edge' and how much you're willing to drop to play with the latest AI toys. But remember at the end of the day it's not about the technology it's about how you use it. You still gotta put in the work to make it fly... like I did.
