The global average salary is somewhere in the region of $1500.

There’s lots of people and companies out there with $250 to spend on these subscriptions per seat, but on a global scale (where Google operates), these are pretty niche markets being targeted. That doesn’t align well with the multiple trillions of dollars in increased market cap we’ve seen over the last few years at Google, Nvda, MS etc.

The global average salary earner isn't doing a computer job that benefits from AI.

I don't understand the point of this comparison.

Do you mean the current half baked implementations or just the idea of AI in general?

I don't understand the point of "AI."

The story being told at Wall Street is that this is a once-in-an-era revolution in work akin to the Industrial Revolution. That’s driving multiple trillions of dollars in market cap into the companies in AI markets.

That story doesn’t line up with a product whose price point limits it to fewer than 25-50mn subscriptions shared between 5 inference vendors.
