    Makes sense for free users. LLMs are expensive to train and run, and Google aren’t a charity.

      Ah yes, the small indie cashless company named Google, they’re probably not making enough billions out of selling our data, they truly need this ad revenue too, poor little global corporation 🥺

        They’re a business. The whole point of what they do, just like any other business, is to make money. They’re not going to have products that they lose money on.

        A lot of people are already paying for Gemini anyways.

          You stated they’re not a charity as if their greedy insidious product strategy didn’t provide them with enough revenue for Gemini to at least be free of charge and ad free since they’re shoving it down people’s throats every chance they get.
