I don't know. We could end up either way.

This basically already happened, the web 1.0 was all open, but greed changed it all and now it's all centralized and closed.

We have the chance to keep AI apps free, as in libre, but based on the recent past, I think people will prefer to use a "free" service than to learn how to do it themselves.

Just because it's AI it doesn't mean it is open. We need people working on this, making it free and available, like StableDiffusion and things like [gpt4all](https://gpt4all.io/index.html)
