At some point AI companies are going to have to charge real money to make a profit from their services. What do you think that amount would be and why? (sh.itjust.works)

I expect consumer prices to be always a loss leader, with professional prices starting from €300/month.

The image, video, music generators will never be profitable since human artists are also paid jack shit anyway. But they will be available for their marketing value, making the real profit from business use.

The business prices need a 10-fold or raise though, at least.

I dunno on the music one. You are right human artists get paid shit but they also put out like an album a year at most whereas AI puts out literally thousands of tracks a year so theoretically with 100x more music, even if it's only half as popular, should make plenty on streaming services.

Obviously it's terrible music and we should all boycott music platforms that don't aggressively remove AI content. But people are clearly doing it for a real, financial reason

Won’t that cause true economic chaos? There already is more music than one can listen to in their lifetime. You’ll never have to listen to the same track again if you chose so. That is true before AI comes in. So how to you chose what to listen to? Where do you put value in music?

AI is just going to devalue music and art in general. Flood these industries in a race to the bottom.
