Interesting idea. AI can't look at ads, so in the long run ads on informational material might die any you're going back to paying outright. I like it.

>AI can't look at ads
But ads can be put in AI.
Ads? Too obvious. Just always suggest sponsors' products when it's in context, and censor your competitors so they're never mentioned in responses.
And since AI is so great and you don't want to bother going to the website and clicking through a cookie banner, as another commenter mentioned, you just won't ever know the competitor exists
I guess that's technically an ad but it's so much more subversive that "ad" doesn't really do it justice. It'll be like product placement but worse somehow
>Ads? Too obvious.
Have you dealt with people paying for ads? They want your rapt attention, not some possibly subliminal suggestion. The "good" thing about chat AIs is that they can, with a little work, make it nearly impossible to block. You want to use it for free, you get ads.
Or the content goes away entirely, and the AI has nothing to search.
The ads will just become either bulk misinformation or carefully worded data points that nudge the AI towards a more favourable view of the product being sold.
