Depends. Are they still making negative money with it? If so, then I'm gonna say no.

It's kind of like robbing a bank, killing everyone inside, then running out without taking anything, dropping your wallet in the process

    The whole business model of tech startups is to lose money until you cornered the market and make unfathomable amounts of money. By the time you realize „well shit, it really was the biggest heist in history“ it‘s already too late. They are too powerful to be punished for it. So this definition of yours plays right into their cards. The only saving grace here is that AI will never be profitable. But people said the same thing about Youtube and now it looks like Google might swallow Disney soon.

    I think we're past profitable mattering at this point, even if the next model of chatGPT causes your eyes to bleed after prolonged use they'll make it profitable by forcing its use anywhere and everywhere no matter how inappropriate it is for any given application.

    We're already there with some products like cars and phones where we just get told what to want and ignored if we disagree.

    Are you dense? That's not the question.
