What commenters say

• The high cost and limited accessibility of Wolfram Alpha's API are major barriers to its adoption and integration with other tools.
• The walled-garden approach of Wolfram Alpha may limit its potential for widespread use and community engagement.
• Some commenters believe that the cost and licensing model of Wolfram Alpha are deliberate choices to focus on high-value customers and avoid supporting a large number of small users.
• Others argue that the company's approach to pricing and licensing is short-sighted and misses opportunities for growth and community engagement.
• There is interest in exploring the potential of integrating large language models with computational tools like Wolfram Alpha or even simple calculators.
• The difficulty of integrating language models with logical or computational systems is a significant challenge that requires further research and development.
