AI is profitable. In the long term. The idea that every product put to market must be there to make money is simply poor people too stupid to understand anything more difficult that buying a stick of gum.
The concept of Loss Leaders has been around for a long time. Even more that if a product is unprofitable for X number of years, so long as the company can weather than, the profit gained after that point will make it more than worth it.
Most products in the initial sale period are just trying to recoup development costs, the difference is that unlike a movie or video gane where we have a general understanding of that initial sale period, software like AI is more complex and that period may be a few years not weeks
Then they aren't selling AI to you, they are selling it to other companies to package it in. You aren't buying a back up camera for your car. Companies like Bosch or Panasonic, sell them to the auto manufacturers who put them in their cars and then that gets added as a feature which raises the price.
So people complaining about the cost and value of AI are the exact type of people that don't have any skin in the game and never will because they are not and never were the customer base. The AI companies will sell their models to other businesses who don't want to make it themselves once it's proven to do the things that they want. Right now big companies are doing so but eventually when it gets better, smaller stores will get it for whatever need they think it fills.
And I'm sure all the websites, ISP and companies you shop at also use Linux. Because for example, Casinos have been using stuff like Pokerstars and Facefirst to identify banned players and cheaters the moment they step out of their vehicles in the parking lot to alert security so they don't even get in the door. And that's been going on for over twenty years at this point.
The early facial recognition programs will just be updated with AI, and more and more businesses will have them where you walk in and the security camera pulls up information about you and if you steal at one store, then every store will be updated with this information.
And that's only one way they can do it. The idea that you will just be able to not participate is laughable at best. It's like those people who call themselves Free Citizens or some stupid shit thinking they don't have to go to court because they rejected paying taxes.

AI is profitable. In the short term.
When the hardware gets cheap ---- everyone will have it, nothing to sell you.
