How so? If you and I both sell widgets for $50 but mine is worse, I can simply pay OpenAI to rank mine first.
And OpenAI might not even know my product is worse. In fact, they probably don’t. They’re too big to investigate. All they know is that I paid them more.
no you can't. because that is not a thing that they sell.
nothing in the announcement says they will accept money for changing their rankings, and the comment at the top of this chain includes the quote from the announcement where they explicitly say they won't do that.
