AI is currently massively unprofitable, at some point they’re going to try to make money off it.

They need to make people dependent upon it first, then do the rug pull, and the dependent people will have no choice but to pay.

They're still stuck on that first step, though. Very few people are adopting it to a level where they'll depend on it. Even the ones who do mess around with it are mostly just doing so casually and wouldn't really miss it if it went away.
