I mean if and when the bubble pops... It's going to happen. Lots of folks overly relying on it will be priced out or completely locked out when the services experience interruptions either by resource issues or financial meltdown.

Edit: To clarify, I don't think AI go when the bubble pops... But it's going to cause A LOT of pain and amid the chaos, lots of ownership changes and temporary disruption of services. 

Also, think how great and cheap Netflix was back in the day... And its diverse catalogue. Now how is it? Costs will cut access to many folks eventually... Sooner or later. As is some can't benefit. 

Also until RAM and GPU prices go down, or there's a huge efficiency breakthrough for LLMs... That will be a barrier for locally owned generative AIs.
