OpenAI is not currently profitable. Despite its rapid growth, the company continues to operate at a substantial loss.

Of course I used the company that is the market leader in AI as an example that AI companies are not profitable… that’s how that works.
They’re not the only AI company that’s not profitable, like I said none of them are. You can take your pick of you don’t like OpenAI as an example.

Thats like saying ride hailing and food delivery is not profitable because Uber is not profitable in the US.
I work in a profitable AI company and can list you a hundred more. I’m not sure what’s the point of this delusional lie?
No startup is profitable - thats by design because profit seeking is not what makes your company successful. No wonder average American struggles financially with this poor understanding of basic financing.
