"AI is not in a bubble, because you are fundamentally automating the boring part of businesses like accounting or billing or product design or delivery, or inventory. If anything it is underhyped" ~ Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt

Its getting worse day by day. An increasing number of studies are reaching serious conclusions. "Most of the roles at risk — about 40 per cent — involve the kinds of drafting, processing information and routine reasoning that AI agents can do"

Google Shifts from Search Mediator to Advertising Omni-Publisher through AI Google is experimenting with integrating ads directly within its AI-generated search answers, signaling a shift toward becoming a direct information provider with broad advertising implications. Using a new AI Max feature available in Google Ads tools, relevant ads appear in conversational search responses, like plumbing services for water pressure issues. This adapts to changing search behaviors, as 60% of shopping queries use broad, dialogue-like terms better suited for AI answers than traditional link lists. Google now actively produces, controls, and monetizes content, running the infrastructure itself, which increases its digital ad market power at the expense of external publishers.

OpenAI has introduced full support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in ChatGPT through a new Developer Mode, significantly expanding its capabilities. MCP, a standard established by Anthropic, allows AI tools to connect easily to any data source or application. Previously, ChatGPT could only receive and analyze data via MCP but could not perform write actions, limiting its functionality compared to competitors like Anthropic's Claude. Now, with Developer Mode enabled, ChatGPT can fully interact with external systems, such as payment solutions, as demonstrated in OpenAI's demo video. However, this power comes with risks; unauthorized prompts could potentially exploit the system. OpenAI advises caution and restricts the full MCP feature to Plus and Pro subscribers on the web, warning that it is intended only for experienced developers. Local MCP server connections and desktop app support are not yet available.

One thing is certain: In the AI world, there is already a gaping gap between the billion-dollar valuations of countless AI companies such as Perplexity, OpenAI, Safe Superintelligence, 0G Labs, Magic or Skild AI and the lack of ideas and possibilities for refinancing. A look outside the box and into the past shows that every product, no matter how good and innovative, in the field of technology, that was advertised at the beginning for its freedom of advertising, was sooner or later monetized - in the vast majority of cases with advertising. Would you like a few examples? Instagram Stories, the TikTok feed or BeReal. It doesn't work without money. Period. In addition to consolidation in the AI industry, it can therefore be firmly assumed that more and more free AI applications will only remain free in the future if we accept the advertising - as with social networks, apps and media houses.
