Don’t worry, you’ll pay for it with your data. It will always be listening and watching and analyzing and selling you something.

Remember when OpenAI launched Dall-E 2? You got a few tokens for free images and then had to pay for it. Presumably that was at least some reflection on the cost of producing the images.
Now you can create video for free and consumer expectations that generative AI should be super cheap have been set. That genie is not going to go easily back into the bottle.

It was necessary. The tech is so expensive to run and develop that getting customers to actually use it and build demand was essential to the tech’s survival.
