I like the idea of seeing an app that charges me electrician rates to move my cursor around to book me on the wrong flight and thinking “I should plan for the day that I wake up and simply have to mumble ‘do job’ in the general direction of a device”
Aren't a lot of the current LLMs and AI technologies heavily subsidized to the point where turning a profit sometime in the next decade or so might actually mean increasing the prices?
> The New York Times, citing internal OpenAI docs, reports that OpenAI is planning to raise the price of individual ChatGPT subscriptions from $20 per month to $22 per month by the end of the year. A steeper increase will come over the next five years; by 2029, OpenAI expects it’ll charge $44 per month for ChatGPT Plus.
> The aggressive moves reflect pressure on OpenAI from investors to narrow its losses. While the company’s monthly revenue reached $300 million in August, according to the New York Times, OpenAI expects to lose roughly $5 billion this year. Expenditures like staffing, office rent, and AI training infrastructure are to blame. ChatGPT alone was at one point reportedly costing OpenAI $700,000 per day.
I think the general idea is that you’re off doing something more productive, more relaxing or more profitable!
