    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. I imagine this is what will ruin the appeal of AI for a lot of people, as right now we’re in the honeymoon phase where a bunch of it is free or low cost but as they raise prices it’ll get less appealing.

      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.
