I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit | Hacker News

Hacker News participants debated whether Anthropic and OpenAI have real product-market fit or only early demand from enthusiasts.

Supporters said AI is already shifting bottlenecks in software and knowledge work, especially for developers and other high-value users.

Skeptics argued the productivity gains are still too small to justify massive token spend, data-center buildouts, and operating costs.

The thread also raised broader concerns that AI may pressure jobs and wages before it creates enough economic value to offset the costs.
