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.

„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

[–] zeca@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah, 200 is a bit ridiculous
