Here we go… It took them some time but ads is going to be inside chat gpt as well. And impossible to block.

    I dont know about that. I think the fear right now is that these companies wont get enough revenue to justify their enormous evaluations. By putting ads in the product, they increase revenue but also increase Enshittification.

    I wont be using chat gpt if it becomes annoying. But many will, everyone today who is used to constant ads will.

    So im thinking this will work against the bubble popping. But I could be wrong.

      If the service was truly viable they wouldn’t need to be supporting it in that way so early. Ads might delay the bubble popping but it’s not a good sign IMO. Selling ads is going to be a lot more difficult than getting millions or billions of dollars from investors.

        Yes exactly. What they really want to offer is an AI employee replacement service. If they could replace one of your employees who makes $40k/year then they could easily charge $30k/year for the service and you (the business owner and AI customer) could add $10k to your profits.

        The fact is that they can’t do that. They can’t even make money charging thousands of dollars a year for basic LLM service that people use to write emails and the like.
