More like $75/mo per user for the next 5-10 years if they can get 5% of the global population to pay that.

Can 5% of the population even pay for that? Some kind of huge increase in prices for compute and inference and companies maintaining large bills for AI assistants for key employees or teams (1000-2000$) seems most likely to me.

You dont think every company wouldn't be able to pay all of their full-time employees 1k less and switch it to AI spend?

It would be akin to a cell phone bill, so pricier in the first world, cheaper in the 3rd, but 70% of the global population has a cell phone.

75$ a month for a cell phone? I pay 18$ monthly for mine. This is Southern Europe where the average monthly wage is 1000$. I dont know who could afford yet another 75$ expense.
