On the surface, today’s AI assistants feel like a fresh start to search and discovery — no banners, no pop-ups, no blue links. Just answers.
But here’s the risk: the business model hasn’t been solved yet. And if history is any guide, ads sneak back in. Which means the “assistant” you trust could just become the most persuasive ad engine ever created.
What business model makes an AI actually work for you, not advertisers?
