Of course they are, Google is an ad company.

The early adopters of LLM AI pay OpenAI $20/month with pleasure to use an adfree ChatGPT, but they represent a microscopic fraction of total internet users.

Google might be able to create a search product that looks like ChatGPT and partially answers the question with a relavent ad spot in return for that user NOT paying $20/month.

If Google has this would you use it and cancel your OpenAI subscription?
