> 2029: $50.00 (Suuuuuuuper bullish case) - Approaching Google’s ~$60 ARPU. By now, the infrastructure is mature, and "Conversational Commerce" is the standard. This is what Softbank is praying will happen.

There's no way Softbank's, or any other investor's, extreme bull case is that four years from now, ChatGPT sells the same amount of advertising as Google and earns $50 a year.

The extreme bull projection is that everyone buys everything through ChatGPT and each user is worth thousands per year. If you don't believe there's at least a slim chance of this you shouldn't be investing in OpenAI, and if you're an OpenAI executive who doesn't think there's a chance of this you shouldn't be writing pitch decks for SoftBank.

I meant super bullish from an outsiders point of view, but I do agree that the projections from within the investors circle are likely multiples of that.
