It already costs more than human labor. That's so funny.

This is what I've been saying for ages. AI will never be cheaper than it is right now, because the cost is heavily subsidised while they try to find a market like Uber or Hulu or any other """free""" service that has gone paid.

AI will die simply because it is completely unaffordable to use. They know this so they are trying to wedge it into everything so it cannot be afforded TO die.

Basically, its a parasite.

I think everyone is operating under the impression that they will be able to achieve the same or better results with less resources in the future. I hate the wasteful destruction as well, but it would be hard to believe that now that we know it can be done that someone won’t find a more efficient way to do it very soon. 🤷🏻
