As a search vehicle, absolutely. But they aren't sitting idly by - as much as I personally hate it, a lot of people like Gemini. Either way, it does spell a big danger to their primary source of revenue.
What's interesting is the monetization aspect. Right now none of them act as ad vehicles. Who will be the first to fall?
- codybontecou 2y agoI'm pretty sure Perplexity attempted to place ads within their responses but had a large backlash.
- breadwinner 2y agoAds are not the only challenge. Cost-per-query is also a challenge, as an LLM query is 10x more expensive than a search-index query.
- IggleSniggle 2y agoIs that all? I hadn't thought about that aspect, but I find it a little surprising that, even just considering post-training, it isn't more expensive than that.
- croon 2y agoI would assume (at minimum) 100x, but have not done any napkin math.
- lukevp 2y agoChatGPT just announced embedded shopping. Sounds like another name for ads to me.
- tim333 2y agoI worry that LLMs will subtly sneak in commercial bias in return for money.
