Prediction: Websites won't bill you for AI — they'll just ask which AI provider you use

The author makes an analogy-based prediction: in the near future, websites won't charge users separately for AI usage. Instead, they'll ask you to select your AI provider — just like the early internet, where you paid your ISP for access rather than paying each website individually. The idea suggests AI capability may become a subscription-style utility, like internet connectivity.
