Adam Sand warns that cheap AI subscriptions like $200-per-month plans won't last. He points out that Google Ads went from pennies to tens of dollars per click, and that current AI pricing masks a hidden $4,000 monthly cloud cost. Prices will spike once companies stop subsidizing access.
Google Ads used to cost 15 cents a click. Now it costs $75 a click. We are coming to the end of subsidized AI. Right now AI is more or less accessible to anyone. Pretty much anybody in America can get a $200 a month AI plan. That $200 a month is technically you burning $4,000 a month. Just like Amazon ran at a loss for years, but then eventually it's like, hey, we built $10 billion worth of data centers. They used the price differential to start Amazon Basics and started selling everything from USB cables to toilet paper because they just knew. Now you don't go to Google and search charging cable, you go to Amazon and search charging cable, and they became the grocery store of the planet. Well, that's going to happen with everything now.
