Only 3%* of US AI users are willing to pay a penny for it : techtakes

Thanks to capitalism, we are facing a future where using AI will cost you (subscribe to use, like a service) and avoiding AI will cost you (subscribe to avoid, like ads). Both sides of the equation will be monetized and we will all pay the price.

Soon you'll get one or two prompts a day, then be pay walled.

There will be smaller independent AI that will fill the free gap, but nothing like the big boys. You'll also be judged in job interviews for what AI you do use. Hell, it's already a question asked.

Gotta roll with the changes or be left behind sadly.

I use ChatGPT to answer the questions for my annual mandatory idiotic work safety training. Just copy/paste the questions and choices in, boom, get the right answers, don’t even have to read the shit. I’d pay $0.01 for that.

Tech giants will ruin AI with monetization. We are in the happy honeymoon growth phase now. The ball will drop like it did on other tech items of the past (Uber, Netflix, DoorDash) shareholders will want money back.

For the most part Netflix is still ok. I dont have ads but the UI and ratings have gotten worse over time.

Spotify is currently dipping hard.

I would pay for AI for personal use. But TBH the free models are more than enough for my needs already, so there's no reason to pay for something more advanced. Also, often these "more advanced" models are slower. I'd take speed over some wall of text that takes a while.

We're in the SliceLine era of AI. Enjoy it while it lasts.
