But we do, in the sense that benefits flow to the prompter, not the AI developers. The person comes with a problem, AI generates responses, they stand to benefit because it was their problem, the AI provider makes cents per million tokens.

AI benefits follow the owners of problems. That person might have started a projct or taken a turn in their life as a result, the benefit is unquantifiable.

LLMs are like Linux, they empower everyone, and benefits are tied to usage not development.
