I think the average person will happily pay the same price to OpenAI (being micro-brainwashed by the AI to buy things they don't need, i.e. ads). I feel confident OpenAI will be able to charge even more for ads than Google since OpenAI will be able to influence people even more strongly, and hide the ads even better.

But OpenAI's costs are exponentially higher than Google's (even taking into account the various Google freebies they don't charge for).

Google wasn’t always profitable.

But they weren't losing money on paid users, and their cost base was never so high.
