That was the most predictable outcome. It's like we learned nothing from Netflix, nor the general enshittification of tech by the end of the 2010's. We'll have the billionaire AI tech capture markets and charge enterprise prices to make pay back investors. Then maybe we'll have a few free/cheap models fighting over the scraps.

Those small creators hoping to leverage AI to bring their visions to life for less than their grocery bill will have a rude awakening. That's why I never liked the argument of "but it saves me money on hiring real people".

I heard some small chinese shops for mobile games were already having this problem in recent years and had to re-hire their human labor back when costs started rising.
