People here, and in tech in general, are so lost in the sauce.

According to at least OpenAI, who probably produces the most tokens (if we don't count google AI overviews and other unrequested AI bolt-ons) out of all the labs, programming tokens account for ~4% of total generations.

That's nothing. The returns will come from everyone and their grandma paying $30-100/mo to use the services, just like everyone pays for a cell phone and electricity.

Don't be fooled, we are still in the "Open hands" start-up business phase of LLMs. The "enshitification" will follow.
