Hmm...I don't own a car so I can avoid high gas prices. I think I can safely stay away from AI and save the big bucks. Forced adoption of AI sounds so "mark of the beast" to me.
The price increases will trickle to you in some form
Demand for electricity will raise electricity prices, and demand for gas to run the electricity plants will raise heating costs.
Demand for RAM makes the price of even Rapsberry Pi go up. The AI bubble is the tail wagging the economy dog.
Maybe a little, but the rise in the costs of AI will make a huge number of people to stop using it since it’s not that life changing, bringing the prices down again.
