Well to make things worse I was pretty convinced those were faked numbers to push the TilTok ban forward. I really doubt Meta and Google are each taking in this much per user. But my point is more that even if it were that high,

ChatGPT isn't going to capture all the engagement. And even then I don't know whether $300 is much particularly after subtracting operating overhead. I'm just saying I have trouble believing there's gold to be had at the end of this LLM ad rainbow. People just seem to throw out ideas like "ads!" as if it's a sure fire winning lottery ticket or something.

Everything devolves into ADs eventually. Why would productized LLMs be any different?

		I didn't say they wouldn't, I'm more skeptical about whether it's a sustainable business model. I mean sure gas stations and airports have ads, but nobody gives you gas or airfare in exchange for watching ads. It's a fraction of the revenue needed. My point is that someone starting an airline can't get away with hopes and dreams about making bank on ads.
