I don’t think they care, worst case scenario they will just go public and dump it on the market.
However the revenue generation aspect for llms is still in its infancy. The most obvious path for OpenAI is to become a search competitor to google, which is what perplexity states it is. So they will try to out do perplexity. All these companies will go vertical and become all encompassing.
I think trying to compete with Google in search is a big problem. First you have to deal with all the anticompetitive stuff they can do, since they control email and the browser and youtube etc. Second they could probably stand to cut the price of advertising by 5 times and still be turning a profit. Will ads in ChatGPT be profitable competing against Google search ads at 1/5 the price, hypothetically?
