- AI is not profitable and has no obvious path as of right now ow to become profitable.
- The adoption we’ve seen from so many companies is based solely on the fact that AI is cheaper than salaries. But AI companies are currently running at a huge loss, and the price gauging is inevitable. AI will likely never be as economically viable for the average company in the future as it is right now.
- The future of AI very much depends on it continuing to improve for the next decade at the same rate that it’s improved in the last 5 years. This doesn’t seem super likely given the fact that we got here by training AI on more and more data created by humans, and now that so much publicly accessible content is written by AI, it will be harder and harder to find new training data to improve AI in any meaningful way.
