Exactly. Pretty much our only hope is that these tools get cheap enough to provide that competition drives the price down - ideally a locally run open source solution that gets you a significant part of the way there.
And don’t forget that in your case one, they can pull the supermarket trick - keep prices low until the industry is destroyed, then price back up to a higher point than the crushed competition used to demand.

The only scenario where that happened was if one company (e.g. OpenAI) was multiple generations ahead and incredibly profitable. That's not the reality we live in: even if the other models all froze themselves they'd be close enough to serve as a springboard for a competitor, and OpenAI isn't even profitable.
