There are free open models you can go and download right now, that are better than SOTA 12-18 months ago, and that cost you less to run on a gaming PC than playing COD does. Even if openai, anthropic et al disappeared without a trace tomorrow AI wouldnt go away.

And those are useful tools, which will always be around. The current “AI” industry bubble is predicated on total world domination by an AGI, which is not technically possible given the underpinnings of the LLM methodology. Sooner or later, the people with the money will realize this. They’re stupid, so it may take a while.

The post I was replying to was saying

people will stop using it for all the things they're currently using it for

They will when AI companies can no longer afford to eat their own costs and start charging users a non-subsidized price.

i.e. people will stop using AI when user have to pay the "real" price (what this is is left unspecified and an exercise to the reader to figure out). My point was that even if the AI price from those provided to infinity AI usage wouldnt drop to zero like they imply.

that's fine though, people aren't mad about models you can run locally, even though now it takes 30 seconds instead of 5 to get a response from my ERP bot.
