Is there an expectation that AI model trainers will end up paying for content, and ad revenue is supplanted by “LLM training data fee” revenue? (I can’t imagine GoogleAISoft’s investors think that’s the high-ROI lucrative future they’ve buying.)
Do they privately know this LLM stuff is a bubble, and expect it to burst before data source die-out kills it?
At a guess, it’s all just FOMO greed-panic and nobody’s thinking that far ahead. But truly, I wonder! What •do• they think will happen?!
