We got to a point were in order to satiate the last little empty spot of our fat consumer bellies billions and billions of dollars are being spent to create the “next-gen” LLM. The waiters serving us that food are the big corporations, pouring as much money as they can in AI. But I think a regulatory reality check is coming. If the European Union (or other major regulators) decide to limit consumer access to certain kinds of AI, for example restricting widespread public use of tools like ChatGPT to only businesses, the market for mass-consumer AI services could collapse fast. That is, of course, to limit the imminent (?) problems that AI generation tools will cause, such as more advanced scams, incriminating fake proof and much more. That collapse would do two things. First, it would pop the speculative bubble around easily monetized consumer AI. Second, it would trigger a structural reset among the dominant tech players. We already see concentrated control in a few places, like Microsoft, Apple and Samsung, and a regulatory-driven contraction in consumer AI could reshape this competitive dynamics. That’s where smaller and non-AI-first companies get an opening. Firms that haven’t doubled down on consumer AI can use the remaining window to strengthen core products and distribution. Also, I don’t expect the individual consumer to be the decisive factor after the burst. The real shift will happen inside large organizations that poured capital into AI infrastructure and services. We lived well and happily even before AI had the influence it has today, and we surely won’t start rioting out in the street for the laws limiting consumer AI generation tools to be dropped. submitted by /u/crpl1
