I’m not saying no one will be willing to pay for it, but rather that the number of people willing to pay for it will decrease when the prices start to reflect all the costs necessary to become profitable. A lot of investor money is currently keeping those costs artificially low for growth, and to find product market fit.
In my opinion the number of use cases people (and especially businesses) will be willing to pay full price for are not yet obviously large enough to dominate global compute.

Operating the infrastructure for that is already profitable. You cannot put R&D into the "costs necessary". Even for the most extreme applications, the cost is basically zero. Look at how capable the compute stack in every Tesla is. Look at GPUs used on Huggingface that cost a few hundred dollars and can output a photorealistic image in a few seconds. To replace most human work, we don't even need those extreme cases of compute. Look up what most people do for work these days. They do really simple tasks.
