Every month everyone receives a bill for water, gas, electricity, internet, insurance, and in the future, if the CEO of OpenAI has anything to say about it, a monthly bill for AI use [news.com.au].
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has sparked debate after suggesting artificial intelligence could soon be sold like electricity or water – with users paying for “intelligence” on a meter.
The ChatGPT creator made the bold prediction during an appearance at the BlackRock US Infrastructure summit in Washington this week
“We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people will buy it from us on a meter”
The idea provoked backlash from commentators with one person posting on Twitter to say “I don’t need AI to live, dude. I’ve literally never seen a more delusional tech founder in my life”.
Where do you stand on this? Would you sign up for a monthly billing for AI use, or can you live without it?
