Ask HN: Someone has to eventually pay for it. So who?

1 pointsby oneandonley111 months ago
The spend for this A.I boom is growing rapidly; the exception to what it can do is growing as well. However, there is a big problem. No one is willing to pay that high price for A.I, most people try it and move on to find free services. So I ask who is going to pay this crazy high l bill?

Candidly in 25 years I have only see a hype cycle this dominant once.<p>The dot com bubble.<p>Most of the other waves were evolutions (Web 2.0), branding (SAS), or just a shift in responsibility (cloud).<p>I am reminded of an Alan Greenspan quote: &quot;Is the market high only because of some irrational exuberance — wishful thinking on the part of investors that blinds us to the truth of our situation?&quot;<p>It&#x27;s the lack of voices with questions that says maximum hype.<p>Google, FB, MS are the ones footing the bill. VC&#x27;s are footing the bill.<p>It&#x27;s not a question of who pays its a question of if it pays off or if someone (who matters) burns in the process.

People are paying for ChatGPT and even more people are going to pay for it when they get a sample of it when iOS 18 comes out with ChatGPT integration.<p>The free integration is going to have limits.
