At some point AI companies are going to have to charge real money to make a profit from their services. What do you think that amount would be and why? (sh.itjust.works)

I don't think they will ever make a profit from the AI products. I think that they will build until the bubble bursts and then get bailouts from governments because the companies are "too big to fail". Microsoft, Google and AWS can't go down without taking down the internet as it currently exists
