Love or hate just please explain why. This isn't my area of expertise so I'd love to hear your opinions, especially if you're particularly well versed or involved. If you have any literature, studies or websites let me know.

They’re useful and getting better, but they’re improving by burning more tokens behind the scenes, and the prices they charge only cover a fraction of the cost. Right now there is no foreseeable path to profitability.
