That is the end game of AI. They are free now as they are in disruption and growth phase with lots of competition. But in a few years most will have gone bust or been acquired until only 2-3 remain. Society will become dependent on them, and then they will roll out expensive subscriptions.

That’s why I think is important to find a way to “community” train models, so there’s always a free open source alternative.

„Then“ they will roll out expensive subscriptions???
ChatGPT already at $200/mo you don’t consider this expensive yet?
The free tier still exists. Soon it will be infested with ads. But they will only make this shift after getting enough people hooked.
Yeah I was just pointing out that this comment made it kinda sound like $200 is not an expensive subscription
Yeah, 200 is a bit ridiculous
Unless we get Mad Max instead… I’m still really hopeful for mutually assured Destruction! Dystopian LamePunk isn’t a future I’m onboard with.
Exactly, if AI was really improving most peoples lives companies would not need to force it on us.
