A lot of people mention that AI is so expensive that there is no way to make a sustainable business model. AlgorithmWatch points out the strong alignment on surveillance between states and big AI companies, which could provide a way out: states - especially authoritarian ones - could end up paying for AI, as a surveillance apparatus: https://algorithmwatch.org/en/maybe-there-is-no-ai-bubble/ It's a good read.

That's a good segue to advertise the QuitGPT call https://quitgpt.org/, which states exactly the same: OpenAI is supporting dictatorish, and using alternative chatbots will hurt, and possibly bankrupt, them before they can embed themselves too deep into everyday life.
