That's why corporations need us to have/use AI companions. I still don't see a point in me having it. Let me decide if I want it.
I work in IT as support desk. I dread it when I hear the user say I used chatgpt or open AI. Hell, the company I work for tries everything to block that shit because of how bad it is.
Tracking and selling user data is a part of it, but the true reason AI bullshit is beint forced onto anything and everything is because tons and tons of investment money has gone into AI companies, and they have little to no profit to show for it. Huge investment firms and billionaires are completely out of touch with the wants and needs of the average product user. All they want is a return on their investment, and so far they haven't gotten it.
So by cramming AI into everything, the Boards of Directors are able to show other numbers going up, like "AI engagement". If you cram CoPilot into everything, the number of users engaging with CoPilot will go up. Probably 95% of this engagement is just users trying to get CoPilot to STFU and turn off, but these big investment firms don't know that.
Yes you’re really onto the trail by looking at how these companies spending massive $$$ can expect to ever make a return on so much investment.
I think there was a JP Morgan analysis saying they’d have to grow revenue equivalent to every Netflix user spending $180 more every year forever in order to break even on these data center investments.
So they really seem to be throwing everything they can at the wall to see what sticks so they can start making headway.
Every man, woman, and child on earth would have to subscribe at $30/mo USD in order for openAI to turn a profit.
