As AI subscription revenue soars, millions pay monthly for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude — but is it worth it?

—Revenue from AI subscriptions is rising rapidly across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude as millions of users pay $20 or more per month for enhanced capabilities. Some power users are paying for multiple subscriptions simultaneously, with early adopters like researcher Kirby Plessas spending $100 monthly across two platforms and planning to add more. Meanwhile reviews of Apple's Siri AI upgrade offer mixed but cautiously positive assessments, with one tester finding it "actually works" for everyday tasks.
