When you square that with the total revenues of 6B in 1H.

- roenxi 1y agoThey haven't put ads in ChatGPT yet as far as I know. It doesn't really make sense to work off the raw revenue before they put the main revenue-raiser in. Search isn't a very impressive money maker either if we take AdWords out.

- fooker 1y agoBecause not everyone wants to pay for a subscription, certainly not the 5 billion Asians in any reasonable numbers. There's a reason Google and Facebook run the tech world as we know it.
