That's an assumption, as they could easily develop a search engine and incorporate the same advertising model used by Microsoft Bing.
I've noticed an interesting pattern: before releasing LLaMA 3, OpenAI provided access to ChatGPT 3.5 without requiring registration.
Meta might also follow this path with its own search engine. Did you know that you can now ask questions directly on Instagram and receive answers from Meta AI using LLaMA 3?
Why go elsewhere for information when you can easily find it in the app you use every day?
It would be better if they open-sourced Windows 11 and placed the source code on GitHub. That way, we could be sure whether they are spying on users or not.
But we already know they are... of course, being Microsoft, they are too disorganized to make sense of the information they are collecting through their spying (they aren't Google or Facebook).
