All it takes is one smart, slightly motivated person to make a free option that's "good enough"

More than one. It takes a lot of skill, time and money, which are hard to come by if you aren't a megacorp. That isn't to say it can't happen, but that it's much more difficult than you may expect.

Exactly. It's very difficult to get the lead on megacorps is my point.

Language models seem to be a way steeper difficulty curve though. The difference between Stable Diffusion and image generators from like a few years before it is big, but the older models are still good enough to often produce viable output. But the difference between a huge language model and a large open-source one is a way bigger gap, because even getting small things wrong can lead to completely unintelligible sentences that were clearly written by a machine.

Yeah, for sure, but as technology improves it's just going to get easier and easier. And this technology is likely to get so good that to a normal person, the difference between the best and the world and "good enough for everyday life" is likely huge.
