There are models now available for 1/20 of the price of GPT and Claude top end models that are much stronger than GPT and Claude were when the AI waifus started becoming a thing. Nobody's going to be cut off from anything if the bubble deflates

lol no you don’t use any of the horrid local models

all the services and infrastructure and apps and interfaces and hardware, and the labor to maintain and update all of the above, depend, right now, on the bubble not just persisting but continuing to inflate to infinity. so yes, everyone absolutely can and will be cut off from AI services
