Ask HN: Has anyone figured out how to integrate advertising with LLM replies

Since people are using llms as substitute for a friend/mentor or as a companion, i'm wondering how on earth nobody figured it out how to integrate advertising (psychologically or something)

The chat log resides at OpenAi/Meta/Goog. Only they could integrate ads, maybe they will eventually.

this is something i have spent hours thinking about.

this could ensure people don't have to watch 2000 ads a day, rather just maybe 2 ads of things they actually need and are likely to be more impactful.

could be a win-win.
