That requires it to provide something other solutions can’t (or no longer do).
People need taxis, uber drove them out and then increased the price, so people used it and ended up paying a similar amount to old taxis (maybe a little more).
People don’t need AI, if chatGPT stops working, you can just use a search engine again. Sure you might not be used to it and feel dependant on the chatbot, but if it’s free compared to a big price tag, the path of least resistance would be to use the cheap solution.
The only way is that if your brain dead enough and rich enough to pay high prices, but these robber barons are ensuring people don’t have much cash.
Well, i didnt say the people pushing the ai are very smart, or there might be some angle on this that isnt apparent.
Or they just see new tech that on the surface seems incredibly revolutionary, lack critical thinking and self-evaluation skills to really consider if its actually as good as it seems to them.
Or it could also be case of sunk cost fallacy. They have already put unimaginable amounts of money into it, backing down now would mean most if not all of that is lost. That seems most reasonable explanation, but these people dont think like rest of us do so I have no idea.
Also, to them it doesnt matter what people need or want. They manufacture the need and do whatever it takes to get what they want. Many have already started to fall for the ai crap and rely on it for decisions. Eventually those who view it critically will be considered conspiracy theorists and otherwise weird people, at least if current attitude towards ai is taken for granted.

Holy shit, I didn’t think of that angle, I think you’re probably right and that is horrifying cause I know they have no problem with letting us plebs go down with the ship and using their golden parachute.

I think you’re vastly underestimating how illiterate people are. Especially newer people.
AI does provide solutions for them that can’t be found elsewhere.
