I'm traveling like this all the time already, I don't understand why it's hard for people to understand that ad placement is actually easier for chat than search

Yes, but the reason why people are turning to chatgpt is because the time to actual info that _I want_ is much much lower.
The point of advertising is to displace the thing that you actually want with something they are paying the company to promote.
You can handwave about personalization, but do you want adtech people having access to your life's context?
> all the time already
What are you actually saying? You're already using chatbots that are embedding non-disclosed paid endorsements? And you like that?
> ad placement is actually easier for chat
Can you point to, I don't know, anything to back this up?
But who wants that? And you're going to say that's exactly what a travel agent does, selling me stuff so he can get a kickback. But when stuff goes wrong, I'll yell at the travel agent so he has some incentive to curate his ads.
