I really don’t think their goal is consumers.
Sure they want consumers to use generative AI so that they get quality feedback so they can improve the product. But that is not the goal.
The goal is enterprises, the goal is replacing workers with AI.
There are estimations that around 300B$ have spent so far for generative AI. This is not for a gadget that close to no-one likes and burns money rather than make money
This is for removing humans from the productive cycle. It is such an ambitious goal that the various CEOs/shareholders are ok taking such an high risk gamble.
Trump will ditch any red tape to AI because Trump openly wants this world, a world where there isn’t any more the need for immigrants or workers or unions.
My ingenuity suggests me that this plan will fail on technical grounds but if it will not, it will be worse. There will be poverty and civil unrest, there will be instability and wars (it’s always easier to look for the enemy outside rather than inside) and, in the end, economy will not do great either (who will buy the crap people will produce?)
Again, I think that this plan will fail on technological grounds but removing red tapes will not accelerate this failure
