Basically, the only reason some of these vaguely functional AI tools actually work okay is because they haven’t been ruined with inevitable monetisation yet.
Already the cost is quite high. A prolific dev can easily burn 100usd a day in tokens and they have not even started to enshitify.
Some of the cost to run these models will come down a bit if Nvidia gets some actual competition which I’m sure will happen in the medium to long term because the hyper scalers definitely don’t like paying Nvidia’s AI ransom and the Chinese don’t want to be beholden to a company the US can influence.
