I'd say it's definitely a big risk here. We've already seen evidence that these AI companies aren't making enough money with the tools they're offering at the moment, and there are already moves to increase the price for things like Claude or ChatGPT.

That's worrying for any company that depends on these things, and we can already see companies like Amazon and Microsoft freaking out about how much they're spending on AI services for employees to use.

And it's also why I'm hesitant to use them too much. Personally, I refuse to use subscriptions for anything unless absolutely necessary, and I'll always either pick an open source option or a one time purchase if it's available. I think that mentality might become more common in future when these services hike up the price.
