Ads. They're going to sell ads. It's a bit hard to imagine how else they justify the valuation.
Even if people look for answers from ChatGPT instead of Google, most people still won't pay $20/mo for it, let alone $200/mo. Average people don't pay for Google search and I've never seen any sign telling they would be willing to pay for it.
But they choose products suggested by Google or OpenAI, and manufacturers already pay these companies a lot of money. AI will force us, it will manipulate us. It already chooses what we see in online stores for us. This will continue.
