I mean use to be I could get an Uber across Manhattan for $5

From my view chatbots are still in the "selling dollars for 90 cents" category of product, of course it sells like discounted hotcakes...

… this is conflating two things, marginal and average cost/revenue. They are very very different.

The difference is that Uber was making a loss on those journeys whereas OpenAI aren't making a loss on chatgpt subscriptions.

They make a loss overall because they spend a ton on R&D.
