I imagine the low level form of each model being free indefinitely, possibly ad supported. It’s already probably becoming the most consistent “we’re pretty sure this is from a human” training data they have.
Open source models exist that can run on small devices for free. There are also some that need a chonky PC to run and have decent output quality. LLMs as a tool aren’t going to go away, but the AI industry is going to go through a massive contraction.
