The automobile, the lightbulb, the personal computer—all revolutionary inventions that followed a simple pattern: build something people want, and they'll throw money at you. Fast forward to 2024, and AI companies have somehow reversed this entire business model. They've built products that cost billions in compute and electricity, users absolutely love them, and now they're desperately begging those same users to actually want the product they're already using.
The punchline? Every previous tech revolution had investors asking "will people use this?" while AI has investors screaming "PLEASE want this, we're burning through venture capital faster than our GPUs burn through kilowatts!" Training models costs more than a small country's GDP, inference isn't getting cheaper, and somehow the pitch has devolved from "disrupting industries" to "pretty please develop a dependency on our chatbot."
Supply and demand just left the chat—along with profitability, apparently.
