[a16z Partner: LLM-type products have the potential to become a disruptor in the search business] Golden Finance reported that Andrew Chen, general partner of a16z, discussed the commercial potential of ChatGPT on social media. Chen pointed out that OpenAI's ChatGPT has reached an astonishing scale of more than 200 million users per week in just a few years. He raised several questions worth thinking about: Has anyone analyzed the average number of searches and single impression revenue of ChatGPT? If a Google-like advertising monetization model is adopted, how might a business like ChatGPT perform? Chen believes that some products with a similar user base (such as the Firefox browser) had annual revenues of nearly $1 billion at their peak. If ChatGPT is free to use, its monthly active users may increase significantly. He said that large language model (LLM)-type products have the potential to become disruptors in the search business and may achieve considerable monetization capabilities. Chen also pointed out that it is worth thinking about whether LLM will increase overall search volume or simply grab market share from existing search engines such as Google.
