    Of those 800 million, how many are paying? That number could be easily over-represented by people doing things without real value to them. I also don’t know how many of those users need professional help whether it be severe social anxiety or the people who find intimacy in a chatbot.

    Like, you’re right there has to be some value to it but I just can’t see trillions of USD in value.

      Entertainment value - not monetary. I don’t pay for an AI because it makes me money. I do it because I enjoy using it.

        Entertainment value is value, my dog has value to me but is nothing but a monetary cost. It is in how I enjoy having my dog so much that I will pay the monetary cost because he is that valuable to me.

        Someone downloading and using an app isn’t indicative to that app having much value to the end user.
