Exactly. Anyone who has learned to use these tools to your ultimate advantage (not just short term perceived one, but actually) knows their value.
This is why I've been extremely suspicious of the monopolisation of the LLM services by single business/country. They may well be loosing billions on training huge models now. But once the average work performance shifts up sufficiently so as to leave "non AI enhanced" by the wayside we will see huge price increases and access to these AI tools being used as geopolitics leverage.
Oh, you do not want to accept "the deal" where our country can do anything in your market and you can do nothing? Perhaps we put export controls on GPT5 against your country. And from then on its as if they disconnected you from the Internet.
For this reason alone local AI is extremely important and certain people will do anything possible to lock it in a datacenter (looking at you Nvidia).
