I suspect it will falter with or without wider adaptation. I’ve been happy to adopt the free offerings and still engage my brain. I don’t see how they get enough revenue to pay for the massive outlay of all these data centers.

The strategic value for the government guarantees they will keep them afloat. Arguably more important than banks these days.

The ads are coming. Google is also beginning to push the idea of agentic shopping, so the AI will probably get a kick back if it pushes you to buy certain products.

Of course, all of this undermines the value of the AI, because it will no longer be giving the best information, as it knows it, it will be pushing high margin items for its owners, much like a pushy salesman. Not that current AI product recommendations are any good, as I’ve run into several situations where the source on its data is a low-effort SEO page loaded with affiliate links.

And of course that would burst the bubble. So adopt it or else!

Saying the quiet part out loud. Also isn't it his fault for investing in it the first place? Desperately finding things to put copilot onto in Windows isn't working out so well, it seems.
