Much like uber and netflix, all of these ai chatbots that are available for free right now will become expensive, slow, and dumb once the investor money runs out and these companies have to figure out a business model. We're in the golden age of LLMs right now, all we can do is enjoy the free service while it lasts and try not to make it too much a part of our workflow, because inevitably it will be cut off. Unless you're one of those people with a self-hosted LLM I guess.
Once they are cut off self hosted focus will explode and will see huge improvements in terms of ability and ease of use.
Until their legislated into illegality.
"We're not running AI on these servers, officer! Just good old-fashioned crypto hashes."
Is it gonna be "to protect the children", "to stop criminals", or "to save the environment"? Place your bets!
