How will people pay for ChatGPT in the long run? Is there a free-to-consumer monetization model that doesn't use ads?

Literally the same way people have paid for GPT-3 in the past 2 years.

ChatGPT has no ads because it's a free tech demo (see GPT-3, DALLE-2). It's almost sure that as soon as it gets out of the demo there will be a pricing model.

Google is free and has to pay for its costs. The question on how to make a Google with no ads has already been answered by kagi.com
