- LunaSea 1y agoAnd the search engine and crawler actually powering these LLMs
- Razengan 1y agoHow is that not a conflict of interest by the way, when Google's AI search results prevent the websites it trained on from getting clicks?
- what 1y agoAm I the only one that clicks through to the sources cited?
- placatedmayhem 1y agoI usually do the same, but not always. And I believe clicking through is a behavior of a minority of people and interactions, judging by the click through rate drops sites have seen recently. (On mobile at the moment, so apologies for not grabbing a source for the rate drops sites.)
- muldvarp 1y agoIn the grand scheme of things? Yes.
- threetonesun 1y agoHow is it different than Google Summaries or AMP or any of the other ways Google tried to keep people from actually visiting the websites that drive all of their traffic.
- beachy 1y agoGoogle is also conflicted though. The more they emulate ChatGPT's clean UI, the more they are failing to push ads in people's faces, which is what generates that $100B for them. Their business model fails if their users don't experience a confusing crap-fest of ads.
- slumberlust 1y agoAs always, they will keep it clean until they can crank that enshitification dial to 11.
- overfeed 1y ago> Their business model fails if their users don't experience a confusing crap-fest of ads. I bet you OpenAI will implement ads far sooner than Google can hypothetically run out of money.
- raw_anon_1111 1y agoGoogle also has GCP where it can monetize its hardware investments.
- adzm 1y ago> the more they are failing to push ads in people's faces Won't be long until chat AI will include sponsored products and services in the output.
- paxys 1y agoOpenAI isn't burning through tens of billions of dollars every year on its free tier for charity. It will dial up the advertising knob (and every other knob) to 11 the moment the cash starts to runs out.
- LeifCarrotson 1y agoThey don't have to do that today, though. Remember original Google? Or original Gmail? Neither had prominent ads for the first few years, a couple decades later the ads are everywhere.
