Understanding AI: The Subscription Dilemma
In the booming AI landscape, a critical reframe is needed. By swapping “AI” with “subscription company,” a clearer picture emerges:
-
Technology vs. Service
AI isn’t just cutting-edge technology. It’s increasingly a service model that you access for a fee. -
The Subscription Trap
Dependence on subscription models can lead to workflow disruptions if payments cease. Your productivity gains are contingent on continued access. -
Your Data is Their Product
Companies harvest user data to train their models. This shifts power from the consumer to the service provider, creating a cycle of dependency. -
The New Outsourcing
Instead of automation replacing jobs, cognitive work is outsourced to subscription companies, resulting in loss of direct control.
