Part 5/6:
Even as prices decrease, utility in practical applications remains a concern. For instance, while GPT-4's current cost stands at $440, this figure can still be prohibitively expensive for certain applications. Considering the case of AI search technologies, the implications become glaringly apparent. If GPT-4 were to power an AI search engine, individual search queries could cost around ten cents or more. This is particularly striking when compared to the mere 1.6 cents of revenue generated by companies like Google per search query. Such cost dynamics could lead businesses down a path to financial instability if they rely on costly AI models for operations.
