That's not a bad way of defining it, as far as totally objective definitions go. $100 billion is more than the current net income of all of Microsoft. It's reasonable to expect that an AI which can do that is better than a human being (in fact, better than 228,000 human beings) at everything which matters to Microsoft.
Good observation. Could it be that Microsoft lowers profits by including unnecessary investments like acquisitions?
So it'd take a 100M users to sign up for the $200/mo plan. All it'd take is for the US government to issue vouchers for video generators to encourage everyone to become a YouTuber instead of being unemployed.
I suppose that by that point, the AI will be running Microsoft rather than simply being a Microsoft product.
AI is already running all software companies as the principle growth philosophy, but that's like saying that gold used to run Colorado and California in 1800s. The executives have no choice at all but bet all in on AI now.
