No shit, Sherlock.
And people would actually happily get addicted to an AI assistant which is reliable, safe, capable, kind, and fast.
They really should try making a great product. Then they don't need any tricks. People love great products.

    And local and under your control. As a "second brain" that isn't sentient but intelligent to assist you AI has great potential. In a few years we'll probably have the models and new hardware to run good enough models locally on cheap enough hardware.

    But by then they'll have drummed enough support for "muh copyright" to buy legislation for AI licensing and make all AI models have to pay a license fee to... "someone". Like that poor writer who had his work illegally read by an AI. So then no open source models can exist and they have the monopoly. Big win for the little guy lol.

    The answer to "copyright" overreach is just piracy. I can play pirated games, watch pirated movies, listen to pirated music... Of course, I will be able to just use a pirated model locally. Or I can just use a Chinese or Russian one - they can speak English just fine.
