Eventually Chatbots will start inserting product placement ads as well. So comparing the ads on Google with the ad free ChatGPT experience is detracting from the real value of ChatGPT.
Google results are mostly ok. But I have to do the synthesis. ChatGPT does the synthesis for me saving me time and mental bandwidth. This is the part that I find valuable.
If the chatbots were able to gauge your interests etc. well enough and provide information purely about products and services that it has good reason to believe you'd be genuinely interested in buying, I'd be happy for it to include such promotional material as part of the conversation (esp. if it was crafted in a way that's most likely to engage me - which would make it very different the majority of advertising I come across online and elsewhere).
