And it's not that hard to imagine at all: ChatGPT as it is shows how much coercing out and baking in certain things into a model can create a pretty serious product--the whole thing is honestly begging for ad injections. In general we live very far away from a world where these things aren't immediately going to be bastardized for profit, however well it "works" to do that. Even if this was all truly revolutionary, it wouldn't be worth it if it doesn't extract money from consumers, it wouldn't even count as "revolutionary" in the way we use that word these days. There is no hope for a non-adsensed ChatGPT, thinking otherwise is like wondering if the sun will rise tomorrow. Maybe it wont be OpenAI, or Google, but whatever it is, it will rise to the top. In general, there will never be a technology in our world that can achieve much through solely its own merits, it can only ever succeed by virtue of how efficiently it can turn around money. We are in a small honeymoon right now, but don't forget the rules!
