I feel like you're almost advocating for a "Google where -only- ads are displayed. >> At no point would I accept the product choices to be decided by who pays Microsoft more But in all your examples you're absolutely going to get products which pay MS more. Pizza from the "highest rated place". Rated by whom? Against what criteria? Neutral professional Chriatmas Gift; I mean, paid product placement here we come. >> But I'm perfectly fine with a neutral chat taking 5-30% cut on the transaction. So, I sign up to "supply" (but not "advertise") my product for a 30% cut of the proceeds, but you don't expect the engine to push the higher-value ,higher-cut options? The engine should be neutral - regardless if the product is signed up or not? Regardless of the commission?

The engine wouldn't allow you to order something from a vendor that hasn't signed up. Just like you can't pay for iOS app outside of their appstore. Just like how Uber, DoorDash, Booking.com are neutral vendors. They don't care from which restaurant you order or which hotel you book. You can filter by customer rating. They make the same either way. Same for iOS or Android apps or Apple Music or Steam. It is in their interest to keep it fair and have the users decide which of their suppliers wins. I don't see a difference. They especially don't care if I'm doing all my transactions though them anyway. The only thing that decides how much I spend, and therefore they make, would be my income. Keep in mind OpenAI wouldn't be the only game in town, just the first, so if the same query gets a better or cheaper deal somewhere else they would lose me as a customer.

  DoorDash and Booking.com have paid placements. They are not neutral.
