The cloud had a ready market: companies with irregular workloads who needed to be able to rent someone else's computer. The market for AI is much trickier because a slop machine is only valuable if you can get people to buy that slop from you. Which is impossible as long as there are alternatives.

It is a kind of slope. Nvidia makes GPUs, and convinces OpenAI to pay for them. OpenAI needs to make back their investment, by means of slop machine subscriptions. So OpenAI hype masters find people who are indistinguishable from slop and say: buy our thing that makes Content margarine.

Now, there will always be a market for content margarine machines among the people who truly do not understand the difference. But they need to justify their investment so they turn to people who are slightly less slop than them, and say look at this Content that I produced. Don't you like it?
