It's fascinating to watch this community react to positively to Google model releases and so negatively toward OpenAI's. You all do understand that an ad revenue model is exactly where Google will go, right?

It's all so astroturfed so its hard to tell. I got the opposite impression though. Seemed like OpenAI had more fake positivity towards the top that i tried to skim, and this had way less and a lot of complaints.

Im biased I dont trust either of them, so perhaps im just hard looking for the hate and attributing all the positive stuff to advertising.

Gemini already drives ad revenue. If the conversation goes in that direction it will use product search results with the links attributable to Google.
