Maybe not interesting? I wouldn't expect the number of subscribers to a bespoke "AI Service" to rival Netflix. I realize on this forum we're probably getting lots of use out of them in our personal lives that justifies the $20/mo but we're also the people who pay for search engines and VPSs. Outside of work and school normal people don't do anything that requires general purpose AI. These companies are trying really hard to pitch use cases for everyday things but you can see from the ads they're super forced. The biggest value add for most people is probably "go google something for me so I don't have to wade through the sludge" and Google is giving that service away for free.
