ChatGPT is providing a ridiculous amount of free service to gain/keep traction. Others also have free tiers, but to a much lesser extent. It's similar to Uber selling rides at a loss to win markets. It will get you traction, yes, but the bill has to be paid one day.

Consumer chatbots are pure marketing, no company is going to make anything off those $20 per month subs to ai chatbots.
