Most tech companies however tend to operate following a standard enshittification schedule. First they are very cheap, supported by investments and venture capitalists. Then they build a large user base who become completely dependent on them as alternatives disappear (in this case as they lose the institutional knowledge that their employees used to have). Then they seek to make money so the investors can make their profits. In this case I could see the cost of AI rising a lot, after companies have already built it in to their business. AI eventually has to start making money. Just like Amazon had to, and Facebook, and Uber, and Twitter, and Netflix, etc.
From all the talk I see of companies embracing AI wholeheartedly it seems like they aren't looking any further than the next quarter. It only costs so much per month to replace so many man hours of work! I'm sure that won't last once AI is deeply embedded into so many businesses that they can start charging whatever they want to.
