Rather than getting into the nitty gritty details of monetization, when we ask ourselves if OpenAi can nail product like Facebook did (I guess) to become the next tech giant, I think we have to ask whether it's even possible when the tech industry is as established as it is.

You would think existing megacaps would be all over any new market if there is a profit to be made. Facebook's competition was basically other startups. That said, Google seems to be dropping the ball almost as bad as Yahoo.

But sure, if there's absolutely no way to make money from consumer AI then that will also make it hard for oai to win the game.
