Give it to everyone. realize it won’t make money if its free.

I don't think that's whats happening fully right now. AI solutions given away for free are users doing free work training AI. The users are the product, not the AI being used in those cases.

It’ll end up in its niches where it makes senses and is considered a cost savings, and the world will move on.

This is a lot of niches. I'm seeing quite a few jobs being replaced by AI, and its going to have a massive impact on economies. Its even worse than just "jobs lost". Its lots of low and middle skill jobs that AI can replace today. It going to eviscerate the pipeline of people that grow to higher positions. What then happens when more of the most skilled are needed? They won't exist because they weren't able to grow in the junior and middle skillset jobs replaced by AI. I'm not sure what we can do about that.
