David Pawlan(@DavidPawlan):the market has chosen, AI assistants will be free what's crazy though is that today, roughly 50% of the industry sits behind a paywall... (of the 139 AI assistants I'm aware of, 30 are paywalled and 40 are freemium) within the next month, i think all of them will transition to free and those that don't will die (we just saw Pally do this last week!) why pay for [insert competitor] when Muse & Instinct are free? they'll need to figure out different ways to monetize, probably through a % of transaction volume
