the biggest reason for this is that the digital ad market is a duopoly (charitably a triopoly if you count Amazon in), if all of the LLM companies start to go into ads that's going to be a much more competitive market for ad buyers. It's not going to be so straight forward when both customers and merchants have ten different places to go.
Also not to forget that ChatGPT has zero moat, unlike social Facebook and Google.
