Summary

A discussion about the potential future of AI services becoming paid, with speculation on subscription models and advertising, similar to streaming platforms like Netflix.

Just a regular smeggular person here asking a question. AI is everywhere now, but its free so its being pushed on a lot of people everywhere. Eventually I expect it to just not have a free option once everything is settled. I mean, Netflix doesn't let you watch their streams for free. I would expect AIs to eventually move on to a mandatory sibscription tiers with tye cheapest one having invasive ads. Within the next 5 years do you see this happening? If so then what will the AI world be like when people have to pay for to bare minimum AI service with ads or even pay with no ads? Like pretty much paying $8 for regular basic ChatGPT.
