We already have those at home without OpenAI.
Also, the competition would be ruthless.

Sure, because there's one single ad network, one single place where you can gamble and one single porn site in the entire planet ...
That is exactly the parent's point, that while those things could bring in revenue, the competition in those industries is already incredibly fierce. And that's before potential new entrants into the space on the AI front. Even in the best of cases I don't think anyone is gonna be able to pull anything other than middling margins.
They've already got (way!) more users than those other sites, though.
But yeah, maybe they should give up because of the imaginary obstacles brought up here, lol.

Are these "potential new entrants into the space on the AI front" in the room with us right now?

This is absolutely what techbro MBAs raised on case studies of Apple and Toyota are likely to think. Gamblers and porn users do not have any sort of brand loyalty and are likely to be hostile to the idea of "vertical integration" and "360 degree views of the customer".
