Ok, ok, so they can't keep up with "Demand". Now lets go parse what that demand is:
Is it: We want to use this to "Kill a bunch of people"
Is it: I'm very lonely, and need something to tell me suicide is ok
Is it: Google is so filled with ads, I'm just going to ask the LLM what to buy
Is it: A useful coding tool to improve work flow towards end products.
Cause, if we ignore ethics, some of that demand will generate revenue to pay for it's existence; the others will do nothing of the sort.
Just because there's demand doesn't mean that demand equates to the value of the product. There's lots of demand for LED light bulbs, but once those light bulbs are sold, that demand disappears into the night. This isn't an analogy of AI, but to demonstrate you can't just wave your hands and say "demand leads to a sustainable business model".
> Despite this, OpenAI and Anthropic and Google can't keep up with demand.
