It’s the summer of 2026. Is AI really cheaper than humans or is it an outright lie? People said AI models be improving, becoming ten times more efficient and cheaper, but what is the reality? What can we really expect in 2027, for example?

Right now, the state of the art appears to be that LLM’s are far more expensive to run than humans for many tasks. So, yeah, it is a lie.
There are uses for specialty AI that seem to work well, but they are usually bespoke for a certain task.
I expect that, if AI is used in 2027, it is going to be used with a lot more intent in targeted uses. I also expect some companies are going to realize it is better to fully control their own AI on their own hardware than to use a more state of the art AI which will use all their data as training data.
