No, and that is a big problem, search doesn't make money either. People will not actually pay the cost for AI once they have to.

They might pay for it indirectly. For example, Apple just signed a deal with OpenAI and I could imagine a future where users of Apple devices get free access to some AI because Apple and that company made a deal.

Well, maybe, but I think the huge thing missing from this assumption is that Apple are not paying OpenAI anything, and are developing their own in-house and on-device models.

And a lot of what those on-model devices can do are what the average person will want.

And there's going to take a lot to move people meaningfully away from google.

Kahm, Kagi (and Google) would both disagree. You can even pick your favorite business model!
