Sam Altman said ads in ChatGPT would be a “last resort.” That was just over a year ago. Now OpenAI is burning billions monthly, sitting on $1.4 trillion in commitments, with only 5% of users paying. Turns out the last resort came fast when people can’t afford yet another subscription.

    Tech bros see business as building something cool then watching money poor in. I don’t think they can understand actual marketing—as in, knowing a market and what it needs.

    AI is an expensive product with a small market. Unless they can charge huge amounts for it or expand the market, it’s a dead product.

    It's just a matter of time until companies can pay to influence results, that is if they haven't already.
