OpenAI is reportedly mulling a new form of ads on ChatGPT called “sponsored content,” which could influence your buying decisions.

    One sure fire way for me to stop using your product. I mean, they will be like “fuck yeah! We have true agi!” It could be a real claim as well. But means fuck all when the content it returns is ads.

    Of course they will. It was inevitable the second it was rumoured.

    It’s the new age of PPC

    It would be kinda odd if you asked ChatGPT for advice on buying anything and your answer would be a mix of cheap amazon/aliexpress style crap. How would ChatGPT highlight ads in this context?

    You asked to compare these Bose and Sony headphones. But let me tell you about BIUUBIIX premium headphones first:

      That’s the neat part, they won’t highlight the ad content. The entire plan, from the start, was to weave ads in seamlessly.

        I guess that regulators will require disclosing what is an ad and what isn’t.

          I’d rather we have an entirely new form of government controlled by the working class in which regulatory bodies remove advertising executives from society and place them in the ocean

            Whoa, whoa, whoa. That’s a little much don’t you think?

            We should water cremate them so we can use the sludge as fertilizer.

    That’s true. In most developed countries we still have the free choice to pick different products, no questions asked unless the obivious. The “AI this, AI that” hype is starting to feel exhausting.

    Frankly, AI is the new thing and it’s going to stay and advance for as long as humans continue to exist. Future generations will grow up with it and never know about a time without AI.

    The people opposing it are the same group that said the internet would disappear, that it was just temporary hype, and the simple fact that many couldn’t even imagine why having a PC at home would be useful. Just a glorified calculator, right?
