You could have said this about Meta 15 years ago, and now they're a ~$2 trillion dollar company!
Meta (FB, IG, WA) and Google Search arent really comparable... OAI and Google def are though.

Google has a monopoly on search (maybe not as seen by courts, but certainly practically). OpenAI is in a commodity brawl with dozens of companies. Still, if anything saves their ass it's that "chatgpt" is synonymous with "chatbot".
Once OpenAI turns to ads, I think it's an indicator they are out of ideas.
