It's way too broad to say "is AI profitable" because it spends from LLMs, image generation to DNA sequense modelling.

Was it profitable to run protein analysis with AI? Yes.

Is it profitable to run ChatGPT? No.

Is the survalliance power with Palintir worth it? Yes, but for controlling the masses.

So what is this question even asking?

    The question and answer posed by the website is a bit more narrow, it's asking specifically whether the companies currently investing heavily into LLM tech are seeing monetary returns on this investment as of today.

    The answer is no

    But that is not actually the goal. The goal is being the last surviving company and controlling the then broken market for infinite money. aswell as mass surveillance and controlling the answers to all questions asked

    I know what the article says, but I'm just adressing the headline with a missuse of the term AI.

    It's like saying "is sport profitable" and then only talking about a specific genre.
