Yeah, but isn't the idea to cannibalize your own products before someone else does?! In any case, consumer chatbots isn't the only way to sell the tech. Lot's of commercial use too. I don't see why ads couldn't be integrated with chatbots too for that matter. There's no point serving them outside of a context where the user appears to be interested in a product/service, and in that case there are various ways ads could be displayed/inserted.
