Summary
The article analyzes the disconnect between AI advertising hype and reality, focusing on EMARKETER's $68 billion AI ad market forecast and the revelation that ChatGPT's US chatbot ad revenue will only reach $5 billion by 2030 — roughly a tenth of what its parent company OpenAI has projected to investors. It forces a reckoning with what "AI advertising" actually means and where money flows in a speculative market where industry players are being asked to bet before concrete numbers exist.
