Sell more. The hope is that there is a huge addressable market that includes huge per-worker demand in almost all white collar work and lots of inference in people's private lives
If that doesn't work, then yes, then prices will have to go up

There was a lot of hype and exploration of capabilities, but models aren't evolving fast enough to keep that going, so I'm settling down into a familiarity with what an LLM can and can't do that means I am using them less overall that I was 6 months ago when I was throwing everything under the sun at it just to see what happened.
Without either new model breakthroughs or dramatically _lower_ costs, I will be very surprised if the ultimate market doesn't end up within an order of magnitude of where it is today.
I think this is minimally likely. While as individuals on the bleeding edge, we're perhaps using these tools less and less, and our echo chamber reinforces that, the penetration of AI into the normal corporate workplace is still very low - emails rewritten with ChatGPT, meeting notes summaries generated by default, etc. There are a million use cases for LLMs which are not yet built out. The tokenmaxxers will begin using AI less, but the penetration into the mass market will continue at a huge velocity.
Reminds me of the crypto hype but where the hype agents are some of the largest companies in the world.
