No, these AI companies are burning through huge amounts of cash to keep the thing running. They're competing for market share - the real question is will anyone ever pay for this? I'm not convinced they will.
The leadership of every 'AI' company will be looking to go public and cash out well before this question ever has to be answered. At this point, we all know the deal. Once they're publicly traded, the quality of the product goes to crap while fees get ratcheted up every which way.
There are plenty of open questions in the AI space around unit economics, defensibility, regulatory risks, and more. "Will people pay for this" isn't one of them.
The obvious crutch of this new AI stack reduced go-live time from 3 weeks to 3 days. Well worth the cost IMHO.
