What Google is talking about seems way worse https://www.levernews.com/googles-ai-knows-what-youll-pay/

Switching to the BIGGEST Advertising Company in the world to get away from Ads ?

I hope this was intended as humor.

The only paid subscription getting ads is the one they created last week which is less than 50% of any other SOTA AI subscription on the market. Normal Pro users aren't getting ads.

Normal pro users aren't getting ads, yet.

Yet?

So a paid tier is getting ads got it.

The Gemini experience is quite inferior right now unfortunately.

this is downvoted but anyone who has used gemini seriously would know that it comes nowhere close to chatgpt or claude.

switching to meth right now... this is insane! why should i pay my coke dealer to give me 50% pure cocaine?!

Do you really think an AI model provided by Google is never going to have ads?

I would be surprised if any major AI companies could sustain free plan for more than a year or two once it becomes popular. Claude can do it for now because the ratio of paying users is higher as it is popular among more niche audience.
