alt Hacker NewsAdvertisers will only pay if AI providers will provide them data on the equivalent of “ad impressions”. And unlabeled/non-evident advertisements are illegal in many (most?) countries.

> data on the equivalent of “ad impressions”.
1. They can skip impressions and go right to collect affiliate fees. 2. Yes, the ad has to be labeled or disclosed... but if some agent does it and no one sees it, is it really an ad.
So much to work out.

Maybe. Historically lots of ads had little to no stats and those ads were wildly more effective than anything we have today.

It doesn't necessarily have to be advertisers paying AI providers. It could be advertisers working to ensure they get recommended by the latest models. The next form of SEO.
