Summary
In today’s podcast episode, we discuss whether OpenAI making $100bn in advertising revenue by 2030 is fanciful or genuinely on the cards; whether a chatbot ad model is starting to take shape; and whether there’s a world in which chatbots remain largely or completely ad-free, with AI companies relying instead on subscription revenue.
