On the contrary. Ad revenue will only explode once advertisers can microtarget consumers with even more precision, thanks to the amount and quality of data voluntarily shared by users. Ad insertions will be even more sinister and manipulative, seamlessly embedded into the chatbot's responses. It will be like astroturfing, but automated and even cheaper. At the same time, expect the system to also be abused for political and propaganda purposes. Fun times ahead. Everyone concerned about this should think twice before using any proprietary chatbot service. Instead, use an open source solution you can self-host, tweak and have direct control over. This is already possible, if you're willing to sacrifice some quality (llama.cpp, Vicuna, etc.), and these systems are quickly improving.
