The big elephant in the room remains: cost

Google is king in having reduced the cost of search queries. After all, they process billions of them, they need to bring down the cost. The built their own chips for their datacenters specifically optimized for these algorithms.

ChatGPT, or really any GPT algorithm, currently does not have a way to scale in a cost efficient matter. I am really wondering how Microsoft plans to make this sustainable. I assume they dont, and just throw money against it to gain market share. Just to put the finger to Google. They'll get the money somewhere else and just sit it out. Amazon with the diapers.com story all over again. In the end we'll all be worse off

Never forget Microsoft is actually evil. I would not be surprised if they start to lock chatgpt style searches somehow in their corporate licenses and force users to use them through their IT execs. Much like they have gained market share with Teams.

I am still debating, if they release it, should i use it to burn MIcrosoft's money? Or should I stay away from it because stupid investors and sales people will be all up in this
