AI systems such as ChatGPT are notoriously costly for the companies that run them, and so giving detailed answers to questions can require considerable processing power and computing time.

This is the crux of the problem. Here's my speculation on OpenAI's business model:

Build good service to attract users, operate at a loss.
Slowly degrade service to stem the bleeding.
Begin introducing advertised content.
Further enshitify.

It's basically the Google playbook. Pretend to be good until people realize you're just trying to stuff ads down their throats for the sweet advertising revenue.

They have way way too much open source competition for that strat

For technically savvy people, sure. But that's not their true target market. They want to target the average search engine user.

Well true for mostly the tech savvy, but also the entrepreneurs who want to compete for a slice of the pie as well.

You don't need to go through to openai at all if you want to build a competing chatbot with near identical services to offer as a product directly to the consumer. It's a very very opportunity rich ecosystem right now.

Open source booted all these corps from image-ai market, hope they do it for LLMs too.
