Ai is in its early youtube phase. Everyone loves that it's free and adfree and that its algorithm's primary purpose is to serve relevant content not profitable content, everyone knows it can't stay that way, and we are all waiting for the enshittification to kick in on the march to profitability.
The question is, will AI chat or search ever be profitable? What enshittification will happen on that road? Will AIs be interrupting conversations to espouse their love of nordvpn or raid shadow legends?
- tartoran 1y agoI'm aware this is going to happen. but you don't think offline solutions will be more prevalent by the time openai jacks up the costs? These companies have no real moats unless they start doing something social so they have a network of captive audience or something like that.
- yuck39 1y agoMany of the traditional SEO players are now figuring out how to game the system to get their customers to show up more frequently in LLM responses. Once the pressure to turn a profit is high enough the big players surely won't just leave that money on the table. The scary part is that even if we end up paying for "ad-free" LLM services how do we really know if it is ad-free? Traditional services are (usually) pretty clear on what is an ad and what isn't. I wouldn't necessarily know if raid shadow legends really is the greatest game of all time or if the model had been tuned to say that it is.
