it’s robbery because the users here, myself included, would be on the losing end of wealth redistribution. If it’s the other way round it’s good business.

Of course, it's only robbery when those wealthier than me have gotten ahead. The fact that I make dramatically more than some random African Worker for ChatGPT obviously doesn't mean I have to give up any of my money. It's the 1% who need to forfeit their money - to me!
In any case, the economics of the world are a totally unsustainable and inefficient concentrating of wealth which will eventually cause consumerism and the engine of world economics to collapse blowing up the entire wealth pyramid. On top of these economic issues, global warming and the fact that oil demand seems to be plateauing (So we can't kick the true costs of energy down the road) is suddenly going to make being poor much more expensive. So regardless of who is robbing who, at some point sheer practicality will prevail and redistribution to the poor will need to happen (people can call this robbery if it makes them feel better), and if it doesn't happen voluntarily, it is likely to result in an eventual revolution.
