It would be pretty dystopian when we get to the point where ChatGPT pushed (unannounced) advertisements to those people (the ones forming a parasocial relationship with it). Imagine someone complaining they're depressed and ChatGPT proposing doing XYZ activity which is actually a disguised ad.
Other than such scenarios, that "engagement" would be just useless and actually costing them more money than it makes
Do you have reason to believe they are not doing this already?
No, otherwise Sam Altman wouldn’t have had a outburst about revenue. They know that they have this amazing system, but they haven’t quite figured out how to monetize it yet.
Not really, but with the amounts of money they're bleeding it's bound to get worse if they are already doing it.
