I don't that's true in the context of businesses because they won't want their data to be leaked and/or used for other clients. The more data from your company you can feed the AI, the more productive it will be for you. I'm not just talking about semi-public documentation, but also things like emails, meeting transcript, internal tools APIs, employee details, etc. If the AI service provider uses your data to help better train their AI, it will be blacklisted by most companies. If you keep them in silos, the centralisation will offer almost no benefit while still being a very high privacy risk. The only benefit they get is that it allows them to demo it and see it's potential, but no serious business will adopt it unless you also provide a self-hosted solution. I think the only people who will truly benefit from using cloud services as a long term solution are personal users and companies too small to afford the initial cost of the hardware.

That seems hard to believe for businesses which already rely on Office, Teams and Sharepoint, since Microsoft will be making its version of ChatGPT available for all its products, and the integration will be too hard to pass up on.

  Microsoft is in a different situation because everyone is already forced to trust them with their OS and o365. For better or for worse, there are no current alternatives to Windows and the office suite for most businesses. If you already login to your OS with a Microsoft account and process your data in Excel, adding an AI tool on top of it is not a big jump. Very few others are in this situation. For every other AI service providers, good fucking luck getting clients to trust you. I expect we will see a lot AI services that offer a cheap and easy to use cloud AI subsidized by a very expensive self-hosted version. I also expect a lot of data leaks and many high profile incidents where an AI creates a document or code that includes sensitive data from someone else (hard coded passwords, API keys, etc.). Even for a large company like Autodesk or Adobe, you might trust them with your engineering drawings and your new product design, but would you feel comfortable uploading your code base for internal tools, employee files, email communications, etc. to them? It's gonna be a hard no for a lot of businesses
