I like your attitude, but there is potentially a major business in there if they can get users to tolerate it. (Major business meaning greater than the GDP of most countries.)

Over 75% of Google's revenue is ads. A bulk of that from Google Search ads.

I just don't think the ads will be natural. And I think OpenAI has been testing this in quiet and is now "changing course" because the results didn't look great. Hypothesis, of course, but it lines up with the signals we're getting.

I am actually contesting this idea, on the grounds that no business will survive long term if it is foundation is built on users 'tolerating' something bad for them.

This is based on my belief that humanity always chooses the right path eventually and not the one that leads to dystopia.

And yet, none of it is in/from Gemini. You'd think, if advertising in AI chatbots was feasible, wouldn't the world's biggest advertising company be the first to get there?
