LOL

It took Google 15 years to build an ad empire.

And they still have trouble filling ad slots on YouTube.

You think ChatGPT is just going to "turn on" $100B in online ad spending overnight?

That's not how it works.

Why do you think it would take so long to throw an ad system on ChatGPT?

Personally, if I could buy OpenAI stock at 100B market cap right now, I would back up the truck.

adding ads is easy, adding ads that work is not.

Google can easily monetize a search for "dentist in $city" where your intent is to spend money, OpenAI would have to monetize "sum up this email" where money is not involved at all.

If you have enough eyeballs on your pixels you can make money on ads. They are just deliberately choosing not to do it (Altman has made statements to this effect).

sure, but Google makes _way_ more money than X or Reddit or Pornhub, not all eye gazes are the same.
