Ask HN: Have you cancelled any software subscriptions because AI replaced them?

I went through all my subscriptions recently and haven't cancelled a single one because of AI - neither has my girlfriend.

I built some small tools and browser extensions for myself that I use daily. But honestly, I wouldn't have paid for those anyway — maybe a one-time small purchase, but never a subscription.

Curious if others had a different experience. Did you cancel something because chat with LLMs replaced it? Or did you build your own thing and make a paid tool redundant?

We replaced our CRM with an in-house solution. Since our main use case was simply sending emails to lists, it made more sense for us to manage those lists in Google Sheets and build an LLM-powered workflow for email outreach and nurturing.

There are a few personal scripts I replaced with an LLM prompt/skill. Can't really think of any subscriptions though.
