Unless it's run on a local machine, the billionaires are still getting money

User Numbers = Venture Capitalists. They don't need to see immediate profit to invest. They just need to see a user base and a feasible plan to make profit. See Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, InstaCart and most infamously MoviePass.

Edit: If you can do $0.25 in billionaire economic damage with $0.10 in AI credits, you have won. I think this is entirely feasible, and simply needs scale.
