They're probably going to figure out how to aggressively monetize and enshittify LLMs at some point.
We're likely at the "golden age" of LLM-assisted web searching and summarization.
Hopefully open models keep it cracked open, but expecting enshittification is always the safe bet these days.
- badestrand 1mo agoFor the free to use LLMs, for sure. But if I pay $20 monthly, why should they enshittify it?
- archagon 1mo agoBecause that’s what always happens? Because their raison d’etre is to squeeze you dry?
- 0x262d 1mo agolook at every paid streaming service...
- inigyou 1mo agoTo be fair those enshittified because of copyright owners, not because of paid streaming services.
- Eisenstein 1mo agoThe amount of money you pay is irrelevant if you don't leave the platform once they starting adding revenue streams that degrade your experience.
- Gigachad 1mo ago$20 a month is not nearly enough. The current finances require AI companies to make far more money than that to not implode.
- javcasas 1mo agoIf there is an extra buck to be made, or another promotion to be handed to a middle manager, it will be enshittified to get it. That is why we are seeing paid streaming services with ads.
