Same as it has always been.
Give them a tool and get them hooked. Then see if they can pay for it. If not, sell their data and insert ads everywhere.
Celebration for the AI companies losing money is premature IMHO. This time they have enough incentive to burn trillions of dollars.
Reason is simple. You can only get limited data by tracking people around web and on your platform. People have real lives, issues, relationships and fears that makes them what they are are. 1/2

These companies never had access to that data. But they saw a new opportunity and created this new shiny tool. "Conversational Assistant" Not coding. Not frontier math. Conversations. And this is the final nail in the coffin. Millions of people are giving access to every part of their life to AI tools in one way or other. Happily. And it helps them. For real. But it gives so much data to "them" as well. The coding tools etc. will be dialed down, restricted but conversations will go on. 2/2
