At first, I think I worried that we were going to see an Uber-like process of raising the price of LLMs after a while, but with Meta making its LLMs open-source(-ish), it means that nobody really has pricing power any more: LLM prices will be close to actual cost of hosting them. That removes a lot of risk in committing a business to using LLMs to solve problems, even cheap ones.

In free chat services (ChatGPT), 6 months to a year, I'd guess. You just know, if you ask ChatGPT about hemorrhoids, Preparation H is dying to pitch you their products.

In paid for services, well, ad-removal would be what you pay for. In API calls, never, it would render the API useless.
