The trend of AI skills becoming standard, cheap, and easy to swap.
AI was the fancy cupcake truck with a line around the block. Soon it is the donut box in every break room.
Basic AI gets cheaper and less special. People then pick the app with the trusted name and smoother service.

MaaS
MaaS lowers the starting cost and makes AI feel like a standard cloud service.
