The amount they have poured into AI does not and will not yield the profits they think it will. They are betting on ppl using AI, for free, then somewhere, probably sooner than later expect that ppl will be willing to pay a subscription to keep using it. That’s like saying the average facebook user will suddenly start paying to use it…ain’t happening.

There are lots of deep dives on this…just do a search and you’ll find pages of results that explain it in detail!
