I'm not feeling it. Constantly pinging these yuge LLMs is not economic and not good for sensitive docs.

But don’t you think LLM pricing is heading toward zero? It seems to halve every six months. And on privacy, you can hope model providers won’t train on your data, (but there’s no guarantee)

I don't see how it can trend to zero when none of the vendors are profitable. Uber and doordash et. al. increased in price over time. The era of "free" LLM usage can't be permanent

Google’s inference is profitable

Not on the SERP page. The zero click Internet is bad for content producers and for those who sell ads (Google).

Oh, it's going to be "free" alright, in the same way that most web services are today. I.e., you will pay for it with your data and attention.

The only difference is that the advertising will be much more insidious and manipulative, the data collection far easier since people are already willingly giving it up, and the business much more profitable.

I can hardly wait.
