I think what you don't fully understand is that if these companies crashed and stopped getting in new investor money then lowering prices would not be the answer because they would not actually have enough revenue to even pay their own bills. Right now the AI costs are partly being subsidized just like when Uber first came out and rides only cost like $6 when it might now be $40. While what you are saying might come true it doesn't mean that it's directly related to what we are talking about, these companies crashing is not going to magically just result in lower prices. Lower prices are likely but would be due to other factors. Also, lowering prices is not going to cause a crash by itself. Just look how cheap and capable GPT-6 Luna is compared to GPT-3.5. That didn't cause OpenAI to crash, did it?
