Ask HN: What paid AI tools are worth it for creative tech projects?

frausty1 pts1 comments

Long story short, I m a third year college student who just switched my major from biophysics(premed) to Human Technology Interaction.You can spare the advice about spending all my time learning to code, I know it s important. But for creative technologist internships, including the one I have this summer, portfolio projects matter just as much, if not more, than raw coding ability and the major change is putting me far behind on the latter.My question is: which AI subscriptions are actually worth paying for if you re vibecoding projects like these?Right now I have the $100/month Sakana Fugu subscription (which I heavily regret because it gets burned in about three prompts), Claude Pro ($20/month), and Cursor Pro through the student plan. From what I can tell, Fable seems to be the leader for design, but I don t know if there are better options like Sol, Grok, or Kimi.Also, I work hard to try to make sure my end result isn t just AI slop. Right now I m building my portfolio website and an interactive heart anatomy project.
