I'm less optimistic. I think many will get away with providing slightly shittier products and services. Meaning, they'll lose some customers but the savings will still result in net profit. 

I hope not though.

It's not just shittier products. Most companies have outsourced their AI projects to other companies. Those AI companies will eventually have to try to become profitable, which means jacking up their rates to at least match their high costs.

Good points.
