>AI models are not really effected by that at all.
I don't know about that. More usage means more support, which means more docs and open source projects, wrappers, harnesses built around them etc.
Way less demand to build tooling around open weight models if they remain hobbyist.
The big thing is here is more training and that comes in two flavors:
1. Using AI helps as part of the training process.
2. All the prompts going to openai/claude is a gold mine.
