Sam Altman says OpenAI wants to sell intelligence like a utility
During a recent appearance at BlackRock in Washington, D.C., OpenAI’s Sam Altman, shared his vision for the future of AI. At one point saying, “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”
Altman was describing a world where AI becomes a foundational infrastructure, something woven into everyday life so deeply that consumers and businesses simply “plug into” it the same way they rely on electricity, Wi-Fi or running water.



The people getting tricked are CEOs and investors.
It’s at least a bubble if not a fad.
It’d be diffetent if the AI sales pitch were only tricking lonely people looking for text-only relationships.
I agree with you in a sense, but what a good trick it is.
