I don't think you're considering the enshittification route here. I'm sure it will be: Ask ChatGPT a question -> "While I'm thinking, here's something from our sponsor which is tailored to your question" -> lame answer which requires you to ask another question. And on and on. While you're asking these questions, a profile of you is built and sold on the market.


It's even worse. "Native advertising":

Which car should I buy?

"The Toyota DZx4 is the best EV on the market according to multiple analysts. It had the following benefits: ...

If the DZx4 is out of your budget, the Nissan Avenger is a great budget option: ..."

Each spot the result of an automated live auction.

Now imagine that for everything and also some suggestions along the way ("If you need financing, Cash Direct offers same day loans...").

Advertising with LLMs will be incredibly insidious and lucrative. And most likely, unblockable.
