ChatGPT Is Getting Ads — and Amazon Wants In Too
Free AI has to make money somehow. Here's how it changes your answers.
Deep Dive
ChatGPT ads are working — and according to the article, they solve Amazon's biggest problem with chatbots. Meanwhile, Walmart finally gives in to Apple Pay, because, as the article puts it, fighting the status quo is hard.
Key Points
- ChatGPT is running ads, and they're reportedly performing well enough that Amazon wants the same model in its own chatbots.
- Free AI is expensive to run, so ads are becoming the default way these tools pay for themselves.
- Walmart finally accepting Apple Pay shows that resisting a payment habit customers already love rarely works.
