This answers the question I’ve had. How do they make money? It was naive to think we could have all this innovation for a penny. Someone has to pay those bills. How does Bing plan to monetize searches that go through their even more advanced ChatGPT? Humans will be repulsed by ads in the middle of their answer from a sentient feeling AI. Numbers I’ve seen is that ChatGPT searches will cost 10x a Google search. How do they make it back?

When you're watching a movie, and the main character picks up a can of Coca Cola while typing on a Microsoft Surface laptop, with the logos conveniently rotated toward the camera, it's obvious that Coke and Microsoft are paying the studio for product placement. AI advertising will be like this, but subtle and undetectable, so that it's nearly impossible to determine that your conversation about malfeasance by a political candidate is being invisibly influenced by his political campaign.

  In many jurisdictions that kind of subtle product placement is not legal.

    How about prohibitions on product use, like Apple phones not being usable by villains?

    How do you prove that it happens and is not an artifact of the training data?

      If it went to court, in the discovery process the defendant will have to turn over internal emails etc.

      "I didn't type that, your honor, my cat walked over the keyboard" is just as high-quality a defense as "it was the AI who did it, your honor".

It's doesn't cost a penny. The costs add up really fast. Even really light usage you can easily start spending $20/day Some basic math for a chatbot use case: 4000 tokens x 250 messages = $20

data mining. Microsoft’s bing app is ridden with ad scripts and they’re wanting to scale up rev share for Bing from media buyers

Instagram has been "QVC plus fitness/mental health content" for years. TikTok influencers will provide Personal Finance 101 tips and offer $100 in free trading credits from some crypto exchange.
