Marketing, that's all it is. Companies know how to make ads convincing you that you need their product.
Too bad they have forgotten how to make good products.

This is by design in the current situation. Why make one good product when you can sell a mediocre product every year. Unfortunately everyone is doing this so you have no choice and zero competition.

That is the end game of AI. They are free now as they are in disruption and growth phase with lots of competition. But in a few years most will have gone bust or been acquired until only 2-3 remain. Society will become dependent on them, and then they will roll out expensive subscriptions.
„Then“ they will roll out expensive subscriptions?????
ChatGPT already at $200/mo you don’t consider this expensive yet? -

Bonus: So many things but also no more captcha on every search because they don't like you protecting your own privacy.

Yeah, 200 is a bit ridiculous

That's why I think is important to find a way to "community" train models, so there's always a free open source alternative.
or keep a place like lemmy free of bots, so we can exchange and search information still.

DDG is amazing. They do have the option of AI though with duck.ai. Their products are great. I may be a bit bias, I've been using it for 12 years.
