I am not sure that big AI will ever prove profitable.

A decade ago I was briefly involved with LCD panel economics. Not one of 
the half dozen panel manufacturers had repaid the debt they accrued to 
build the factories.

The hope was that LCD panel manufacture would be like nuclear power 
stations - all the profit happened after the first 20 years of operation.

But nukes provide something the world needs and wants. I am not sure AI 
does.
