My concern is about this whole business model of adding ChatGPT to a search engine. A search engine is a free tool. Because it is free, the incentive to make money is via ads, referral etc. That means preferential treatment where the money is.
ChatGPT (or a similar product) focuses on solving users problem interactively. No ads, no going to another website etc. How would you make money from a search engine?
I was hoping a simple, paid model to start with. Over time, as the LLMs become commodity (200GB, runnable on Intel/AMD), ship it as part of the OS and other devices.

I think there is no technical barrier to add Ads to a chat bot. It's even more deceptive when promotion campaigns are embbeded into text contexts implicitly. It would be much more dangerous and harder to block than, let's say a DIV on a webpage.
You realize google probably has a 10x better AI then ChatGPT. They just arn’t publicizing it. Google has all the data. It's not even a competition. If bing adds it then google will simply add a better version of it.
Are you by any chance referring to Goggles (with two 'g's) which is indeed a beta feature, but has nothing to do with Google? https://search.brave.com/goggles/discover
I see a lot of people saying this, but it doesn’t make sense to me.
As your conversation evolves with the bot, targeted ads could be shown with the same (or better) level of intent data available based on the human’s input.
… now you can make money on the links directly, perhaps have sponsorships influence the recommendations, and have a strong signal of intent to purchase you can try to monetize later.
“Hey bing what’s a good hotel in downtown Montreal?” -> same
I would be somewhat wary of this idea. Because bots like ChatGPT will oversell and it is kinda creep.
Current search ads display options and let you filter through which is neat, but ChatGPT like agent will shred the original content and make it invisible to distinguish which is ads, and worse false advertising, which is not.
I think let ChatGPT to infer the attribution automatically and do a revenue sharing with original link owner will be a better option.

They could state "Some of the content in the following paragraph is sponsored by Apple:" and then weave it in. Edit: but still have vital content in the paragraph, like product placement in movies.
