> OpenAI is facing off against Google, Meta and Amazon, all of which have existing relationships with advertisers.

I will point out that these companies have existing relationships with advertisers because they have massive, sticky userbases and advanced targeting tools. The average consumer is absolutely using ChatGPT for personal use, and maybe Copilot at work if applicable. And they're using Google's AI by proxy when they perform searches.

If OpenAI were to roll out advertising tooling, I have no doubt advertisers would flock there to try it out.

Additionally, the other thing I think OpenAI leads in is Product. Google is amazing at creating technologies and awful at creating products. I think OpenAI can be positioned to win based off of that alone.
