Because the companies that provide these models/apps aren't doing a service to the world. Their only motive is to make as much money as possible. I think that this is their idea to achieve that:
- Create an AI model that's excellent and free.
- Users use it and since they like it, they continue using it.
- Use the chats to train the next generation of models and make it more powerful.
- Ensure that a lot of people use AI so frequently they get addicted to it because they feel its so good and useful.
- Once enough market share is captured, place everything behind a paywall.
- Everyone who is addicted to AI will pay because they can't live without it.
- Profit
At least, this is probably Sam Altman's dream.
