They might not show you ads but they can still recommend you certain products based on a sales commission.

I'm genuinely curious about the unit economics on the expensive plans for each of these AI plays. It's common to parrot the idea companies are still losing money on them but hard to find actual evidence.

I'm also on Pro and I know that I won't stop it even if ads subtly change the results. I expect all big LLMs to do the switch exactly at the same time, but later than the free versions.

The ad will inevitably show up, the question is will you recognize it?
