I don't think they're gaining any market share, especially after the Chinese produced nearly identical services.

Man I cannot fucking wait until this stupid goddamn bubble pops

in this case there isnt customer base for AI, only ceo and c-suites are.

So much of the AI stuff we see today are boards reacting and worrying about being "left behind" in AI. In many cases, the goal is not to deliver value. The goal is to be able to attach a little sticker that says "AI" to their products to excite the shareholders.

Unfortunately in this case, some of the largest companies in the world haven't been able to figure out how to run AI services at a profit.

This could change any day if some more efficient hardware arrives, but until then, most of the software world is just crossing their fingers it becomes profitable one day while they light dollar bills on fire in their datacenters.

If this isn't "bubbleish" behavior I don't know what is.

I'd suspect the low "density" of context makes it prone to hallucinations. You need to load in 3000 lines to express what Python does in 3, so there's a lot of chances to guess the next token wtong.

If anything, a smaller market share is better for business. The more users they have the faster they lose money.

Me too. I can then go back to 3D printing quantum blockchains out of room temperature superconductors in my private space station with Katy Perry.

I find that hard to believe right up until the point you mentioned Katy.

Yes, this is part of the business model. The goal is to get everyone addicted to their service, then jack the price up to profitable margins. It's the same model Netflix and Amazon used. Bothe services lost money for over 10 years before becoming profitable.

Isn't this just the tech industry. Run at a loss. Eat VC money. Wait. Wait.

Some how you become normalized and suddenly important Next thing you know you're raking profit.

Like the guy that has no friends who nobody really likes. He won't go away. He just sticks around. Nobody ever told him to fuck off. So he's just part of the group.

Im so tired of this stupud fucking refrain. Cause we all know how housing got so mich better after 08 and how we dont have any more dot coms and how the internet got so much better since that bubble. You people have no idea what your even asking for.

Do any of them like it enough to pay for it? The figures say no.

I use it daily but I won't subscribe. It's like news. Why pay when you can get it for free. (I do subscribe to news outlets, though, but like ai subscriptions, I know I'm in the minority).

There is a specialised ai tool that is useful at my work. It's got a free tier which does most of the functions and the next tier up is crazy expensive on a per user basis for the amount of time it saves. If there was a reasonable subscription, perhaps I'd subscribe but I assume that a reasonable subscription doesn't cover costs, so they'd rather a free user to pump their numbers than lose a subscriber. That yells me it will enshottify over time or they hope that the cost will drop. The problem is that if the cost to host drops a lot, people will self host instead. It's a rock and a hard place, without a sustainable business model.
