What will make AI more expensive is the layers of rent that will be built upon it over the next decade. It takes time to develop these systems.
Back in the stone age Facebook didn't even handle the transactions when people were spending millions - then billions - in games like Farmville. Didn't take a commission. Didn't take a percent. Didn't know how much you were spending. This wasn't deliberate it was just early-stage, and by the time they got their shit together they were making a fortune off these transactions. And then Apple and Google cemented a 30% fee on everything forever no matter what courts or governments order them to do, and we go from Farmville paying nothing to Candy Crush Saga paying mandatory and inescapable $7 - $8 billion in fees enforced ala the DMZ in Korea.
