Again, the people who are anti-AI don't give a shit about token prices. They will care that AI is only for rich people, but this won't be due to token prices, but because only the wealthy will be the ones with any kind of job (if the dream of the AI overlords is to come to fruition anyways) or income stream due to displacement caused by AI

"dream of the AI overlords"

I don't care what their dream is, I care about what's happening IRL. Please read the original article again, AI is clearly being used by workers to expand their productivity (and their earning capacity). The main thing that will screw that up is if token prices spike.

"AI is only for rich people, but this won't be due to token prices"

Statement doesn't make sense. Higher prices means unaffordability. I don't know why that would change for AI tokens. Higher token prices is what will make sure advanced models are only available to capital owners

This feels "unintuitive" only because it's not the dominant narrative, but that's not a measure of accuracy. "Everybody believe so" is not a good defense.
