That’s the usual business plan. However, people don’t really like ai. The results aren’t great, so, if they jack up the price, people will likely cancel. The lock in is poor as the product and convenience is poor. It doesn’t really save money as promised.
Are you sure that "people don't really like AI", or is it more "the people here in my self-selected online bubble don't really like AI?"
You're right we are in an anti ai bubble ( we all remember THE CLOUDDDDD buzzword companies wouldn't shut the hell up about, and that was an objectively far better service than Ai is) however, I can't name anyone in the company I work for thats had llms revolutionize their job. It helps summarize (badly) and help with excel formulas (does ok if you know what you're doing). Plus, our clients dont pay us to use a shitty half ass llm, they expect actual intelligent humans to do the work correctly.
I also won't buy from any company blatantly using llms in their products. They're good at hiding it. But I will notice.
The 'cloud' was a pretty big thing though... everyone used to self host, now only some self host.
AWS, GCP, Azure make a lot of money
But it wasn't new anything new. The "cloud" services were literally the internet, just made a little easier for stupid people. Just like this llm shit isn't really new. The paid off media wants idiots to think its revolutionary but its not. Its a chatbot that sometimes gets stuff right.
