At some point AI companies are going to have to charge real money to make a profit from their services. What do you think that amount would be and why? (sh.itjust.works)

I expect consumer prices to be always a loss leader, with professional prices starting from €300/month.

The image, video, music generators will never be profitable since human artists are also paid jack shit anyway. But they will be available for their marketing value, making the real profit from business use.

The business prices need a 10-fold or raise though, at least.
