> The switching cost to a non Ad LLM is too low for me to be bothered with an ad based LLM.

Provided one with sufficient quality exists.

Yes so what amount of quality are you willing to give up so that you won't be bombarded with ads?

Or, what extra money would you pay OpenAI to get a non ad powered LLM model?

		I suspect that ad powered LLMs will also dramatically sacrifice quality- they are a cost center suddenly, no reason to run a model with 10s or 100s of billions of parameters when some 500m thing will provide a minimally plausible scaffold for ad delivery. Like everything else, most people won't notice a difference and prioritize free over paid.

		The thing is, ads don’t pay that much. Facebook’s ad revenue works out to about $50/user per year . I probably don’t like FB enough to pay $5/mo for it (and even if I did, all the people I interact with that make it useful wouldn’t) but something that’s a personal assistant? Easy. It’s not hard to imagine ChatGPT just charging.
