alt Hacker NewsThis article isn’t particularly helpful. It focuses on a ton of specific OpenAI business decisions that aren’t necessarily generalizable to the rest of the industry. OpenAI itself might be out over its skis, but what I’m asking about is the meta-accusation that AI in general is heavily subsidized. When the music stops, what does the price of AI look like? The going rate for chat bots like ChatGPT is $20/month. Does that go to $40 a month? $400? $4,000?

OK, how about another article that mentions the other big players, including Anthropic, Microsoft, and Google. https://www.wheresyoured.at/reality-check/
How much would OpenAI be burning per month if each monthly active user cost them $40? $400? $4000?
The numbers would bankrupt them within weeks.
