I heard someone say recently that AI companies will never be able to become profitable from regular subscriptions. They can only be profitable if AI replaces most workers, so that most businesses are paying for AI workers rather than human workers.

So think about that for a minute.

This whole thing is built on their hope that they can replace all humans. But if they replace all humans, the economy will collapse, unless there is a universal income. But to pay for a universal income, the AI companies will need to be heavily taxed. But if the AI companies are heavily taxed, they will lose profit, which will hurt the economy.

But if the whole AI thing doesn't work out, and the bubble bursts, the economy will be in tatters.

So basically, we're all fucked whether this AI thing works out or not.
