Wow, with this in place the incentives are enormous for OpenAI to allow sponsors to pay for a slight nudge in the recommendation this way or that.
This will replace the current ad economy.
- modeless 1y agoYeah, it seems obvious that this is how models will be monetized in the future. The free version of ChatGPT will stop being a loss leader for the subscription and start paying for itself with commissions. The vast majority of people will use the free version. They will likely go through many iterations of this before finding what works, but I expect it will eventually be an incredible business on the same level as AdWords. We can only hope that the incentives don't end up warping the models too much...

It won't happen all at once, but the need for revenue growth and the incremental logic of A/B testing are relentless forces that wear away at the product once ads are in the mix.
- modeless 1y agoIt's been 27 years since Google Search launched, and I still find it very useful despite some perverse incentives. A pretty good run I would say. If OpenAI declines that slowly, and is then displaced by something better, I'd say it was a good outcome.
