I assume ChatGPT will cost around $1 per query for consumers.
That's low enough to put human copywriters out of business, but high enough that I don't ever see regular humans pay for it for day-to-day tasks.
So eventually this is some sort complex of B2B product, and that is very difficult to execute.

You’re literally off by an order of magnitude. Each query costs around 1 cent from
every article I’ve seen.

And “640K ought to be enough for anyone”.
Of course this will get cheaper over time as compute gets cheaper and the cloud providers design custom chips optimized for it.

"Query" is ambiguous, because ChatGPT runs on "tokens", not "queries".
In real life you will want an order of magnitude more tokens if you're generating something useful and not just testing/playing.
Compute doesn't get cheaper over time, it gets more expensive. This isn't 1993 anymore.

It's only getting more expensive because we've let AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure own all the machines.

People are using it now for free, why would it cost $1 ?
Easily. By integrating it into their developer tools, office suite, Azure, Dynamics, etc. You can automate/support SO many tasks with the toolsuite that OpenAI offers.
In addition to that, the way I understand it they can simply make money by licensing others to use those tools. They already started offering the OpenAI services through Azure.
