People using it to control their computer is dumb as fuck. I dunno why AI companies are pushing the idea when they already have a killer product.
The killer product being the lying machine or the deleting working code machine? I think there's a small number of people for who these tools really fit into their workflows but they are not universal so there's limited growth and they're already wildly unprofitable.
Something like half a billion people use ChatGPT and competitors every week. It’s really hard to deny that these companies are successful. Doesn’t matter what the quality is, it’s clearly good enough that people continue to use it.

"Successful" would include "profitable".
lol, have you seen public companies nowadays? Amazon took 9 years to turn a profit.
