With how expensive AI seems to be, it's baffling to me how companies expect to turn a profit on it. 30B a year sounds more like the budget for an entire government scientific agency. And if that's just for the data services...
microsoft already admitted it doesnt generate profit, so all these companies, including google, is ramming AI into all thier devices and services to recoup the losses.
Even copilot explains that it's answers are crippled by responding faster with less accuracy to reduce resource usage and there's nothing the paying customer can do about it.
thier data centers are expensive to operate, and very costly to the environment.
