What will make AI more expensive is the layers of rent that will be built upon it over the next decade. It takes time to develop these systems.<p>Back in the stone age Facebook didn't even handle the transactions when people were spending millions - then billions - in games like Farmville. Didn't take a commission. Didn't take a percent. Didn't know how much you were spending. This wasn't deliberate it was just early-stage, and by the time they got their shit together they were making a fortune off these transactions. And then Apple and Google cemented a 30% fee on everything forever no matter what courts or governments order them to do, and we go from Farmville paying nothing to Candy Crush Saga paying mandatory and inescapable $7 - $8 billion in fees enforced ala the DMZ in Korea.
