There's also a possible scenario where the online ads market around search engines gets completely disrupted and the only remaining avenues for ad spending are around content delivery systems (social media, youtube, streaming, webpages, etc.). All other discovery happens within chatbots and they just get a revenue share whenever a chatbot refers a user to a particular product. I think ChatGPT is soon going to roll out this feature where you can do walmart shopping without leaving the chat.
Your revenue share concept sounds passive. I suspect advertisers will also be able to pay for placement.
Shopping within Alexa never made sense. I'm not sure I'll want to do it via ChatGPT.
Maybe they're thinking they can build a universal store with search over every store? Like a "Google Shopping" type experience?
