Like Netflix, all they have to do is raise their subscription price next year. Those already dependant or addicted, will pay. People complain about the snapshot while ignoring the trend over years.

I disagree; they've been gorging on the cheap slop buffet for so long, when they realize it costs real money they're gonna revolt - ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY REALIZE IT'S STILL FULL OF HALLUCINATIONS lol.

Trying to keep people hooked to AI is what they'll be trying to do over the next few years. We'll see it how it plays out.

I don't think there are enough deluded to represent a viable market for them. sure, there are some people who are woefully dependent on the shit, but they need a substantial chunk of the population to be enamored and it's not there. if anything what I'm seeing is that people are revolted by it more and more each day.
