@inspirdanalyst Servers running LLMs are not profitable and the $20-50 subscription you pay is alot less than what it cost the company. So far all these AI companies are surviving on investor money.
If someone had to provide local LLM service they wont be able to offer cheaper price.
Before the invention of steam engines, humans were, on average, more physically powerful than they are today. In the future, once AI has matured, humans, on average, will be less intelligent than they are today.
