I don't think they can.

One of the things that will define the AI era is that the cost of computation for one user drastically outweights what you could normally make in ad revenue.

Thats why I have to pay more for Chat-GPT than I do for Netflix.

What do you think adoption would look like Alexa costs 20 a month on top of the hardware? Because that may be approximately what it would cost for Amazon to be able to run an AI to power Alexa.

Apple is the only one that is partially immune to this, because they can run the software on your phone, at least some of the time.




Maybe AI as a service? End user pays for AI once and most things that need AI capabilities offload it to that provider.
