Tech giants will ruin AI with monetization.

AI is completely unaffordable right now. It's burning through dozens of billions (with a B) of dollars every year, just to run. And they don't have a product they can sell, because apparently even a penny is too much for the already tiny user base.

Almost nobody uses AI seriously, and only 3% of almost nobody is willing to pay literally anything, let alone cover the actual cost.

  • I'd amend that to already tiny intentional userbase. Google, Samsung, Microsoft, Apple, and others are gleefully shoving it down their users's throats, hoping they'll get hooked, so there's a massive userbase. I suspect this is exactly why only 3% are willing to pay - they're a portion of the tiny group who actually signed up.
