Since when does OpenAI have an ad platform?

  Advertisers will not be willing to pay nearly as much as they pay Google for that unless they get analytics and ad targeting, which they're not getting in 4 milliseconds.

    Advertisers will go where the users are, whether there's robust analytics or not. And OpenAI's product organization will certainly build the analytics people need (or shell out to a partner) if it's worthwhile. This is all just typical platform growth stuff.

      They will, just not at a good price. And sure, OpenAI can build its own ad platform, it's just that it will take a while. It will also conflict with Apple as they won't want to give OpenAI that data for free.

    I don't understand this, advertisers used to spend billions on tv, radios, and billboards. Historically those mediums have almost no real analytics.

      They did because that was the best option at the time, and even then they spent a lot less per eyeball than they do now.

        Really, do you have sources on the spend per eyeball being less? I always understood it to be the opposite.

  Google's advantage is their ad software suite is incredibly robust and makes every other one look terrible by comparison. I don't think OpenAI will suddenly have robust and insanely good ad tools for advertisers. Not to mention AI prompts will be incredibly difficult in general to monetize with ads, and sort of go against the nature of why people use AI prompts. AI in general is going to be very hard to monetize from end users, especially in a way that is profitable.

      That's not moving the goal posts at all, AI is just going to be hard to monetize with ads. The ad platform is also very important, especially given how hard it will be to monetize. It's pretty straight forward to the point of common sense.
