Well when you describe it that way, OpenAI also started as a blank text box that gave you a bunch of good answers, and they've already expanded with other services.

I already use ChatGPT as my first go-to stop for certain search queries.

I guess the difference (at least at comparable development stages) is that a single user query cost almost nothing for Google compared to how much money running ChatGPT costs.

I wouldn’t be surprised if OpenAI were still losing money even with the same CPM that Google search has.
