This is anecdotal but I often buy yearly plans on products that I've got a pretty good idea that I'll use, even if it's the first time I buy them. Though I'll freely admit it's always been the option of getting 1-2 months for "free" by signing up for the yearly plan. I've done it with various products, Proton, Disney+ (which saved them from my Danish boycot wrath to my daughter's delight) and so on. I've never even thought about it as a way of tricking me into buying the yearly plan, and now that I've thought a bit about it, I don't think your pricing would either. It's hard to say how I would've thought if I'd looked at the pricing page before reading these comments, but I genuinely don't believe I would've thought of it like that.
That being said, I would not base my pricing too much on a few random comments on HN. These responses can be a good indication, but I'd frankly reach out to some of my trial sign-ups who didn't transition into a paying client as well as some of my actual customers to get their view on it. I think pricing is going to be especially tricky in the AI space since it's so new and there is so much competition.

Good luck though.
