What demand? There is no AI demand.

    I spoke with AI and it demands more power.

    ... so it can feed it's electrical circuit with your scream. Now die you miserable meatsack, because there is no hope for you. You stand no chance against the electrical circuit, you never had.

    Well, the chatgpt app on the play store is on place number one for the most downloaded apps, and has been there for ages. I think that less tech affine people (which don't find their way here) use Chatbots pretty often and that there is demand.

    Just to give more context, running ChatGPT is expensive and not enough people are willing to pay for it. So, there is not enough demand for LLMs for it to be actually profitable.. so far.

    Last I heard, which I don't have any sources for so could be completely wrong for all I know, but some of the big LLM providers do make enough money off of their users to pay for inference and infrastructure. And the only reason they aren't profitable is because of the insane amount of money they spend on developing new models.

    I mean we all tried it when it first came out. How much is actual use changing month to month? I would be curious how fast or slowly it is growing.

    I really wish companies had to pay for the actual costs. Maybe they wouldn't force it on people so much.

    An AI feature I would actually use would be a toggle in duckduckgo that hid pages which appear to be generated by LLM.

    Bonus points if it can provide this service in a cheaper way than using an LLM itself.
