They're probably going to figure out how to aggressively monetize and enshittify LLMs at some point.
We're likely at the "golden age" of LLM-assisted web searching and summarization.
Hopefully open models keep it cracked open, but expecting enshittification is always the safe bet these days.
For the free to use LLMs, for sure. But if I pay $20 monthly, why should they enshittify it?
$20 a month is not nearly enough. The current finances require AI companies to make far more money than that to not implode.
Because that’s what always happens? Because their raison d’etre is to squeeze you dry?
The amount of money you pay is irrelevant if you don't leave the platform once they starting adding revenue streams that degrade your experience.
