Google made a great, free-to-users product and built an advertising platform behind it to monetize. Same with Meta.
This is why Bing and its other competitors were not as successful. I think the case will be the same with OpenAI. It's not the product. It's how can they make it free and still monetize?
They shouldn't be penalized because they figured perfected their monetizing platform. Advertisers have the option to use their local newspaper or advertise on Bing. Nobody is being forced to use Google. They just won't have the same audience as Google users.
