• The most popular AI is ChatGPT from OpenAI, and right now OpenAI is the most wrecked company right now, due to it's inconceivable promises.
  • Now lets look at the company's revenue, stats and growth with evidence.

The reported revenue of OpenAI in 2025 is $20 Billion, OpenAI has 900 Million weekly active users, and has 50 Million Subscribed users, so if we apply some basic math there are almost 850 Million free Users of ChatGPT.

  • User's Revenue : (50 Million subscribed users ) x 240$ = approx Revenue is $12 billion/Yr.
  • API Credits Revenue is Another $13 billion/Yr.
  • Total Revenue of OpenAI: $25 billion/yr.

there is a huge gap between revenue, spending and valuation and all the targets it has promised to fulfill.

Scene — 2 : Brainwash Youth

The only way to meet it's operational costs, targets and to fund it's tech collaboration's with companies is to brainwash Youth and pressure Employee's to build agents, learn AI and automate with AI, so that they get revenue from API Credits this is an artificial revenue pump. using AI might be useful to Employee's but pressuring them to use so that they don't fall back in the present generation is a well curated play done by Companies. Every company now host's an AI program for it's employee's for skill development and automation this might be helpful but this integration is slowly making us dependent on AI rather than logical thinking.

this brainwash has slowly infiltrated through the companies which invested in OpenAI and it's now spreading world wide, is this an really important skill or is it filling the pockets of AI Companies which are trying to cover their Revenue Gap.

Scene — 3 : Disaster

from this brainwash people have stopped seeing Ai as a tool rather started seeing as a Future, this common misconception is leading to biggest disaster's

  • The tool framing — a hammer doesn't replace a carpenter, it makes them better. You still need judgment, creativity, context, and accountability. The human is in the loop.
  • The "future" framing — AI becomes the destination, not the vehicle. Companies replace people preemptively. Governments defer decisions to models. Students stop learning because "AI will do it." Critical thinking atrophies.
  • In education, students are increasingly submitting AI output as their own thinking. The skill being practiced is prompting, not reasoning. A tool sharpens ability; a crutch replaces it.
  • In hiring, companies are laying off writers, coders, analysts — only to quietly rehire or struggle when the AI produces confident-sounding but wrong outputs that no one left in the organization has the expertise to catch.

In policy, governments are racing to "not fall behind in AI" without asking: behind on what, exactly, and for whom?

You are not behind you are just being brainwashed.

  • The supply-demand collapse. CS degrees more than doubled from 51,696 in 2013–2014 to 112,720 in 2022–2023, flooding the market at the worst possible time. Meanwhile postings for software development roles on Indeed fell 71% between February 2022 and August 2025.

this is taking people nowhere, making them poorer and leaving them with educational debts and constant work pressure on employee's to learn AI this is misleading an entire ERA which is leading to an disaster.

Even if you work 4 years on AI/ML Degree and you step out for job's and companies start to layoff the employee's just to reduce it's operational cost's and replace AI, and you end building you own new Application and continuously form a loop of funding Software companies like AWs for data storage for your application API credits if your application needs AI support.

Scene — 5 Solution

learn how to use AI and be productive but don't forget that human creativity is what makes your work still alive, start to treat AI as an tool for productiveness and growth rather than a treating it as a future at the end of the day you are the one who is gonna figure out what to do and what not to. stop completely depending on AI for silly recommendation's you are simply killing your inner decision making.

the new trend is not reducing screen time it's reducing AI time and increasing socializing and improve decision making logical reasoning.

Stop Selecting AI/ML as core branch in your majors and start exploring other branches.
