Can you share some use cases of what you think will get companies to become hooked? I'm really failing to see a dependency link emerging either now or in the future.

That combined with the relatively easy switching costs. It doesn't bode well for AI companies seeking to create a walled garden.

Teachers in public schools are being told to use AI in their curriculum. In some cases, this means students are being taught not to think (regardless of the intent of the lesson). When prices make this curriculum untenable but the kids already depend on it, that rugpull is going to severely harm a generation of kids whose education was already disturbed in 2020.
I would expect standardized testing to be the wall that prevents this from going far.
Good lord! Where is this happening? Why would anybody think this was a good idea?
Concretely, I know it's happening in the Vancouver BC school district, and thankfully many students are protesting. Probably many more places.
