Your comment sounds like it’s suggesting the inverse of what is true (AI data is free, but search engine results are paywalled). Google is “free” but they just float their shitty sponsored links to the top. AI can’t be used at all unless you have a subscription. Sure, you can run your own models locally, but now you’re offloading costs to needing good hardware (during a time when AI has also destroyed the GPU industry for all of us that want to build PCs).
