Can’t wait until they (actually) monetize ChatGPT and maximize the time spent on the website, like Google. Can’t wait until ChatGPT says that, when their grandma went to school, they too needed to mentally add 26 + 13, and the teacher would always frown on pupils when they gave the answer 31.
ChatGPT’s strength is that it’s new on the market, needs to build an audience, and therefore their UI and UX are lean, devoid of gaming.
Same as Google, up until 2008.
- johnfn 3y agoI'm not convinced this is the case. Unlike Google, ChatGPT has clear monetization channels which are not advertising, like ChatGPT+, which is already doing very well, and it's easy to imagine further channels which allow access to specialized models. Additionally, unlike Google, you can only really get away with making your service crappy when you have such a strong moat that it's still significantly better than the competition. The only moat OpenAI has is its model, which is proving a lot easier to replicate than Google circa 2008's moat.
- add-sub-mul-div 3y agoCable TV has a clear monetization channel, surely there are no ads there.
- upmostly 3y agoThey have. We pay $20 per month to get priority access. A lot more than I've ever paid to use the Google search engine. Paid for service over ads is the new way forward.
- krageon 3y agoAds and shit doesn't exist because there isn't a clear way to extract value. They exist because the folks that make decisions love ads and shit. You will end up paying a subscription for a bad product with few alternatives, just like most folks end up using Google now and pay with all their data. There simply isn't a good search engine, Google murdered all the real competition and what was left is mediocre.
