If OpenAI is charging commission on sales through ChatGPT, then they're probably better motivated than google is to show the best results.

    Better than continuing to show me ads for vacuum cleaners two months after I purchased one after searching for them.

  In many cases, Google gets commissions too. A lot of their ads pay when the person completes a purchase.

    Which ads are these? My impression was they are all based on CPC or CP impression

      They have an option for pay per conversion: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7528254?hl=en https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7528254?hl=en

  How so? If you and I both sell widgets for $50 but mine is worse, I can simply pay OpenAI to rank mine first. And OpenAI might not even know my product is worse. In fact, they probably don’t. They’re too big to investigate. All they know is that I paid them more.

    >I can simply pay OpenAI to rank mine first no you can't. because that is not a thing that they sell. nothing in the announcement says they will accept money for changing their rankings, and the comment at the top of this chain includes the quote from the announcement where they explicitly say they won't do that.

      Nothing that they sell, yet.
