That’s the usual business plan. However, people don’t really like ai. The results aren’t great, so, if they jack up the price, people will likely cancel. The lock in is poor as the product and convenience is poor. It doesn’t really save money as promised.
Original predictions had AI taking over 50% of jobs by mid decade. We're here, and it obviously hasn't happened. Now, it WILL happen but not on the scale initially imagined, and probably in a much more insidious, gradual way.
Why do you think it will happen? Who were those "predictions" from? I'm guessing CEOs of "AI" companies AKA serial liars.
I took his comment to mean recession from bubble popping.
