Sure, the price will come down a lot, even if we can argue about the timeline.

I think what will also happen, once we get past this current CEO AI FOMO mania, is that companies will start to look at AI spending more rationally like any other company expense, and will revert to more rational decision making.

Even if the cost comes down considerably over the next few years, that's plenty of time for companies to look at their financial results and question why AI expenditure isn't resulting in increase in revenue and/or profitability.
