how?
whoever runs WWW now (or will run in the future) will just magically forego the ad revenue? Especially since you mentioned not just Copilot-type tools, but the whole WWW, if/when ChatGPT becomes mainstream source of information, Microsoft will just give up billions of dollars of ads that they can stick in there anytime?
Second, again, at least a tiny part of the current WWW's advertising revenue (or credit/reputation such as stack overflow) goes to some content creators. If MS and OpenAI are going to hog that data and serve it directly, without attributing the original content producers, this will remove any revenue or incentives for people who actually create content that OpenAI feeds upon.
- breckenedge 4y agoI don’t mean to say ChatGPT is the thing we’ll be using in 5-10 years. Did Sun or Netscape end up dominating the WWW? I mean it’s a start of a new way of interacting with informational content that puts conversation, not search, first. It’s hard to find information on today’s WWW that isn’t trying to overtly sell you something.
