> have lost quite a bit of reputation

in the tech world, maybe. All my 'normie' friends are using ChatGPT though and have no concept of their reputation, nor intention of switching. Most people I know are hardly even aware of alternatives, even of Gemini, though everyone has a Google account.

I personally also use ChatGPT and have zero reason not to, currently. I might switch if they royally mess up, but everything they've messed up has been fixed within a day.

But would they pay for it? That's the difference.

More people pay for ChatGPT than any other Consumer AI service by far, and when ads rollout, it won't matter that much.

My normie friends aren’t paying several hundred of $ a month on their services, though.
