So you see the marketing point of ChatGPT to be conversational ads?

The ads don't need to be conversational, they could be just references at the end of the answer.

  Which is arguably even more insidious.

    So an ad at the end of text is worse than one embedded in the answer? Care to explain why?

      You'll probably end up with both. But with an ending advert, you can finish up with a reference leading to a sponsored source linking to sponsored content which leads to another ending advert. If the advert text is in embedded, you cannot do such.

  Counterpoint - I pay for my whole team to have access, shared tools, etc. we also spend a decent amount on their APIs across a number of client projects. OpenAI has a strong revenue model based on paid use

    If the capitalism mindset applied to the web has taught me anything is that if they can get more money they will. They’ll charge you money for the service and ALSO get money from advertisers. Because why shouldn’t they. The famous “if you don’t pay you’re the product” is losing its meaning.

    Not compared to the training costs it doesn't and it's competition is fierce especially with llama open-sourcing.

      The second one costs $0.01. The first one cost $100^x where X is some large number. It's common in pretty much every form of business

    I don't. I hope you're not paying for my use too. Ideally they keep us siloed, but I've lost confidence. I've paid for Windows, Amazon Prime, YouTube Premium, my phone, food, you name it, but that hasn't kept the sponsorships at bay.
