I’ve seen estimates that it costs $30+ dollars per month per user to run these AI models. And that doesn’t even include how expensive it is to build and train these systems.

Nobody will want to pay, so the end result will be ads interspersed with the output.
Just kidding, they will include ads even if everyone chose to pay.
