I wish this sort of thing was realistically possible; I think history has taught us that we cannot have nice things one too many times to pretend like this time is any different. Whoever owns ChatGPT/equivalent product in the future would probably end up doing something or the other to ruin this idea. "GhatGPT, what's the cheapest restaurant in this area?" has way too much advertisement potential to be left alone.
- yamtaddle 4y agoRight, ChatGPT without complete loyalty to the user runs into the same problem as auto-restocking schemes from Amazon and such: I can't trust that it's not fucking me, so I have to check manually anyway, at least from time to time. At that point, I may as well just go buy the thing I need when I need it, myself. If, when I ask ChatGPT (or its future, improved successor) to explain the benefits and drawbacks of the best products in some category, at three price points, I have to worry that placement on that list can be bought... then the whole thing's pointless as a tool for "consumers". Just another avenue for tricking us out of our money, and we're already very well served in that department, don't need any more of that, thanks.
