It's funny because if people get replaced and don't have money they won't pay for API tokens either so the retail AI business collapses too, there won't be enough demand because people rather buy food.
How do you make sure you are not violating terms and conditions if they forbid injecting third party javascript into the website explicitly?

In some cases in the past, finding and using auth tokens in the front end has resulted in hacking charges, in those cases alleged hacker found an api key in the front end and directly accessed the database, which resulted in a jail sentance.

AI providers like openAI or Anthropic are already on the hook for OFAC compliance, so if any terrorist group is proven to access their APIs they can face huge fines.
The same game played out in the crypto space. Local models like local wallets can't be regulated.

Majority of people won't contribute anything technologically, but they sure as hell can copy.
That's not always the case imho.
Think about advances in running inference, any innovation will happen in the details. Higher layer can stack gpu's but the implementation can still be improved.
Often small technical changes like "making a service 5% faster" are worth millions for large companies. That's all implementation.
