Google One's business model is not ads?

I mention Google One because you can access Gemini Ultra through it.



All their services are just a way to get more information about their users so they can serve them ads.

Those Gemini queries will be no exception.


Not true - Gemini looks to be marketed towards companies, where it's far more profitable to just charge thousands of dollars. Ads wouldn't fund AI usage anyway. GPU's are extremely expensive (even Google's fancy TPU's).


I find that hard to belive. Ads most probably already funded all the research, development and manufacturing required to produce those TPUs.

But we'll see, maybe Gemini will become profitable eventually.
