> higher profitability than Google Search
Smaller and simpler I buy. Higher profitability I don't. Every serious analysis of this has suggested that ChatGPT is a loss leader, for example.

I was the one who made the case to the founder back in 2021, likely along with several others, who didn't think providing unlimited search for a flat rate had any path to profitability.
