Getting 65% of the population to spend 1% of their income on some new digital toy forever does not seem so far fetched.

That seems super far fetched given that 37%[1] of the world's population does not have internet access. You could reasonably restrict further to populations that speak languages that are even passably represented in LLMs.

Even disregarding that, if you're making <3000 euros a year, I really don't think you'd be willing or able to spend that much money to let your computer gaslight you.

The power distribution goes the other way too. There are outliers that will spend much more per capita.
