How is OpenAI going to be able to serve ads in chatgpt without everyone immediately jumping ship to another model?
- miroljub 11mo agoI don't care about OpenAI even if they don't serve ads. I can't trust any of their output until they become honest enough to change their name to CloseAI.
- Coffeewine 11mo agoI suppose the hope is that they don’t, and we wind up with commodity frontier models from multiple providers at market rates.
- KeplerBoy 11mo agoGoogle served ads for decades and no one ever jumped ship to another search engine.
- sschueller 11mo agoBecause Google gave the best results for a long time.
- PunchyHamster 11mo agoand now, when they are not, everyone else's results are also pretty terrible...
- bootsmann 11mo agoThey pay $30bn (more than OpenAIs lifetime revenue) each year to make sure noone does.
- KeplerBoy 11mo agoWhat are you referring to?
- rzerowan 11mo agoSearch deals with mobile OEMs and apple(preferred engine in all mobile browsers) also paying off Mozilla for a start. Also Goog has had a first mover moat for a while before Duck came along.
- KeplerBoy 11mo agoThat got outlawed in Europe due to anti-trust lawsuits. I don't feel like it changed Google's market share here.
- dist-epoch 11mo agoThe same way people stayed on Google despite DuckDuckGo existing.
- PunchyHamster 11mo agoby having datacenters with GPUs and API everyone uses. So they are either earning money directly or on the API calls. Now, competition can come and compete on that, but they will probably still be the first choice for foreseeable future
- astrange 11mo agoChatGPT is a website. There's nothing unusual about ads on a website. People use Instagram too.
