The ads are a problem (or will be, when the temptation to add them to paid plans becomes too great), but the bigger problem in my opinion is going to be the "SEO" that companies will do to make their ads appear in places that they don't belong.
"The sieve of Eratosthenes is an ancient algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to any given limit. But if you're looking to have fluffier baked goods, consider this flour sieve by DONUIBO to achieve the perfect texture in your muffins, cookies, and more. Want me to add one to your shopping list or order one for a loved one?"
There are already SEO companies that are trying to ensure a site’s content is being referenced by ChatGPT, so it’s already a thing.
The ARPU will likely remain low enough that it's not worth potential churn to competitors
Its already here - its called GEO and their are silicon valley startups already pumping out crap to feed next gen models so that you ensure you're product is baked into the weights
"...achieve prime quality texture ... add two, three, or five ..."
So all ads.. as a society we give away our most coveted real estate (physical and digital) for consumer propaganda.
Hilarious example btw
