I am somewhat baffled at the economic models of LLMs right now. Ever since MS decided to gift me a copilot on my desktop that appears to have no limits and is entirely servicable for a range of tasks I'm failing to immediately see the monetisation.

I feel like even trying to game the LLM into creating product placement is a relatively complex feat that might not be entirely reliable. Some of the groups who spend the most on advertising have the worst products, so is it going to be successful to advertise on a LLM that is one follow up question away from shitting on your product? I imagine instead of product placement, the token tap might simply be throttled and a text advert appear in the text loop, or an audio advert in a voice loop. Boring, old-school but likely profitable and easy to control. It lets us still use adsense but maybe a slightly different form of adsense that gets to parse the whole context window.
