𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 = 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗴𝗴𝘆/𝗭𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟳. Super cheap, ultra addictive — and totally VC-subsidized. Remember ₹1 deliveries and 50% off everything? Yeah — not sustainable. Investors were buying growth, not profits. 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗜. Chatbots, image generators, AI tools — all feel free. But every response burns real money: GPUs, compute, electricity. Soon, you’ll be charged per message, per token, per output. Just like how food delivery now has: • delivery fee • platform fee • surge pricing • and no discount Most AI startups aren’t ready. They’re scaling users — not revenue. When infra bills hit and VCs stop subsidizing… they’re done.
