      A consumer is just the opposite side of the same coin. Corporations exist because of customers and customers exist because of corporations.

      a person who uses up a commodity; a purchaser of goods or services, a customer

        Inclusion of AI isn’t meant to be a selling point to product buying customers but to convince retail investors who throw money at anything with AI into buying up shares of stock.

        And some companies like NVIDIA and micron have reached a point where retail customer revenue is a rounding error compared to direct corporate sales, so there’s no need to cater them and for some no need to even sell to retail customers anymore.

        As things get more expensive it helps create a rental economy, so people having to rent leads to companies able to make money selling to companies that are making money providing subscription services to consumers who have been priced out.

        Kind of like the housing market in a way.
