#3Spelling mistake: "a return on these invetment"
It's Proof of (human) Work. Much more useful than having a sticker saying "Done by a Human".

#4This is basically bunk because AI costs have gone down by 50x or more (api costs) since 3 years.

#5I don't have a crystal ball, but based on similar historical scenarios, I think that one or two of these companies will win--probably because of some unique application, delivery or trade secret that will drive 80% of their revenue.
Consider Google, Apple, Amazon, etc.
It's still early days...

#10The article fails to mention DeepSeek, Alibaba, Qwen, Xiaomi, MiMo, z.ai, or GLM. It's hard to take such an article seriously that doesn't do this. (Our monthly total spend is around $180 with a team of 6, about half technical; our biggest line items are for American models or subscriptions which we probably will be planning to get rid of.)
And then remarks like this:
Anthropic, OpenAI and Microsoft have all now transitioned customers from subscriptions to token-based pricing.
Huh? I use OpenAI via a subscription, as is anyone else using GPT-5.5-Pro who isn't a multimillionaire.
