"Nope" implies you already have a source proving me wrong.

    Yes; the included source and explanatory paragraph above in the same comment you are referencing.

    Would you care to provide any evidence for your speculation that people are willing to pay enough for AI to sustain its costs?

    ChatGPT alone has 800 million weekly users and their total revenue in 2025 was 13 billion with 70% coming from normal users. That's drop in the bucket though considering they've commited to investing a trillion dollars into new computing capacity over the next 10 years.

    This is why you should provide a source, your numbers and associated assumptions are incorrect:

    Chatgpt has estimated revenue of 1.3 billion, not 13 billion, neither of which are remotely significant as revenue streams relative to cost.

    That's the thrust of my opening paragraph, and then you appear to have taken up my drop in the bucket analogy, so i guess we're on the same page now.

    You mean the independent source I provided several messages ago you're trying hard not to acknowledge?

    You've got to learn personal and community responsibility sooner or later. You can make wild claims, but since they've already been disproved, you're going to have to provide evidence eventually.
