Has anyone else received the message in Logos saying  they have used 80% of their AI tokens. đ±
Not had that. I did see that translating one paragraph from a German commentary had used 13% of my translation tokens, but it looked like they had automatically added this to the insights pane and were updating it live every time I moved the selection handles, so I think that one selection used multiple tokens, which seemed crazy - surely just wait till ive made the selection and let me choose to use tokens, rather than churning through them without me requesting it?
But those tokens at least seem to be separate from the AI tokens as far as I can tell.

I havenât done much translation. Â I think tokenâs are used up like fuel. You do some low intensity AI work and it doesnât need many tokens. You do some high intensity, more complex AI work and it requires more fuel. Â Tokens arenât fuel but itâs a way to think about it.Â
Amongst other things I had it write a song about Jonah, in the style of Hurricane by Bob Dylan. Perhaps that takes up a lot of fuel.
I slowed down the last two days but will definitely reach 100% today, promising to be up and running tomorrow.
I asked many questions in Smart Search and now know the best approach for maximizing my research for the type of work I do. Smart Search expects a smart approach.

This is an example:
Smart:Â List the top 10 key concepts that are explicitly or extensively discussed for Gen 1?
Answer:
Based on the provided articles, the top 10 key concepts explicitly or extensively discussed for Gen 1 are:
1. Creation in God's image: Humans are created in God's image, designed to reflect His characteristics[1].
Research Question:Â How does the concept of humans being created in Godâs image reflect and convey the characteristics of God, and what are the theological and ethical implications of this doctrine in the context of biblical interpretation?
Answer
2. Dominion over creation: God gave mankind dominion over the earth and its creatures (Gen. 1:26-28)[1[2].
3. God's creative acts: God's creation of light, day, night, and other elements are mentioned (Gen. 1:5, 8, 10)[1].
4. Male and female creation: God's creation of humans as male and female is affirmed[1].
5. Naming of creation: God naming elements of creation, such as calling light "Day" and darkness "Night"[1].
6. God's characteristics reflected in creation: Some of God's traits, though imperfectly due to sin, are reflected in human personality[1].
7. Universal scope of creation: John's Gospel roots in the creation of the world mark it as vastly universal in scope[1].
8. God's knowledge of individuals from conception: Based on Jeremiah 1:5, God knows each person from the point of conception[1].
9. Moral responsibility: Established through God's injunction for humans to have dominion over the earth[1].
10. Calling (qÄrÄÊŸ): The concept of God calling or naming elements of creation is discussed[1].
Whoops. Â
To my knowledge the monthly AI credit allocation has already been increased since it began. I am hoping that it is further increased upon the official release. Â Then, as competition in the provision of AI services increases, the cost of tokens should come down and the provision go up. Â If Logos continues, as I expect they will, to implement further AI based features, then we will require a larger monthly allocation.
I did learn that the Synopsis uses many more AI tokens than does a Smart Search without Synopsis. I had been testing the limits of the Smart Search with Synopsis, and there went the majority of my monthly allocation.  I found, like you, that it could accept and act on complex prompts. I also found that if asked nicely, would even produce poems and prayers and provide other content from the Logos library. I expect that asking it to do more creative work consumed more tokens. I think the Smart Search Synopsis is the most impressive thing Logos have done with AI so far. I, for one, am excited to see more. Â
I have to wait until this coming Saturday to get a refill. Until then I am being very careful with my usage. I am happy to see you have been. Â making productive use of this Synopsis feature.Â
