If the service was truly viable they wouldn't need to be supporting it in that way so early. Ads might delay the bubble popping but it's not a good sign IMO. Selling ads is going to be a lot more difficult than getting millions or billions of dollars from investors.

    Yes exactly. What they really want to offer is an AI employee replacement service. If they could replace one of your employees who makes $40k/year then they could easily charge $30k/year for the service and you (the business owner and AI customer) could add $10k to your profits.

    The fact is that they can’t do that. They can’t even make money charging thousands of dollars a year for basic LLM service that people use to write emails and the like.
