Comment on OpenAI could reportedly run out of cash by mid-2027parent

Comments

One problem with OpenAi advertising is that users are already moving towards Gemeni, which isn't advertising.

Chatgpt is mostly worse than Gemeni too (arguably) and isn't nearly as rate limited. So they're already losing users and making their product a worse experiance than their competition.

Sure OpenAI will make some money from ads but will it be anything close to what it takes to quench the amount of money they're burning? It seems unlikely to me. They really need to be bought out by a sugar-momma who can afford to play this kind of game like MSFT.

Google is an ad company. I don't think Gemini can remain ad-free for too long

Just see what is happening regarding Youtube ads. It began in a small way, and it's now unbearable to watch without uBlock Origin

Google still has the Search money printer and can subsidize AI for longer.

OpenAI hit 800M weekly average users and communication to OpenAI investors from this week state:

"Both our Weekly Active User (WAU) and Daily Active User (DAU) figures continue to produce all-time-highs (Jan 14 was the highest, Jan 13 was the second highest, etc.)"

This does not indicate that they're losing users, at all...

Ahh, maybe they're not losing users after all. I was thinking about market share as reported in several articles. I assumed if they were losing big lumps of market share they had to be losing users too, but I guess you can still grow even so.
