I mean can't anyone produce $1B in revenue by selling something for $10 that costs $100? Isn't the hard part doing this profitably? Spun another way, doesn't

I mean can't anyone produce $1B in revenue by selling something for $10 that costs $100? Isn't the hard part doing this profitably? Spun another way, doesn't this revenue level imply they are burning cash like crazy and might soon go bankrupt?

Depending on how much of their usage is driven by the free public ChatGPT version, I wouldn't be surprised if they could close the loss gap if they switched to paid only. I believe enough people are hooked on it that any one of them would be willing to fork out a few bucks a month.

  As in every other online service market, that's a really hard sell if your competitors (eg, Bard) remain free. I think giant companies won't mind burning cash for at least a few years while they figure this stuff out.
