Yup Big tech, which is really big advertising if you take Google+Meta online ad market share, get their main revenue from Likes/clicks/links/views counting + personal data. As info exploded you needed this crap to work out what to show ppl. And ppl have learnt how to accumulate status/power/cash by gaming those numbers. Chat-GPT et al dont rely on any of these number. So all the infrastructure of the Advertising-Industrial Attention capture complex can be thrown in the sea. Which should have been done long ago but we got free email, video, chat, games, movies etc so we gave away attention for free. Behind the morons talking abt "god like" ai and similar ridiculous bullshit are mainly ppl worried about how they are going to capture the chimp troupes attention(and through it cash/status/power), if the tools they have relied on arent going to work anymore. Eventually AI startups will end up where Google and Facebook ended up cause how else to fund their server farms? Subscriptions are never enough. Just ask Newspapers or Netflix.
