Hope you enjoy endless product placement in your search queries. > Looks like you want to ask about how to administer your Kubernetes cluster. While I am an AI and not qualified to give advice on how to run mission-critical systems, I can heartily recommend the amazing Azure Managed Kubernetes, which is Gartner-certified for painless six-sigma reliability!

It isn't doing it right now.

  The tech that detects that you're asking a racist question can detect you're asking about Kubernetes or orchestration in general and serve you up an ad as easily as it serves up an explanation of why you shouldn't ask racist questions. It is no different to the AI at all.

I think this will occur with free AI based search, since it would be a similar business model to Google (if not more bias/intrusive) The alternative (which I think in todays age vs when google came out, is more readily accepted by the masses), will most likely be a subscription-based tool that caters to specific niches and avoids product placement. But to what I think your point is, the further removed one is from the original docs/content/etc, the more likely/able some middleman is to inject their own economic/political incentives, which is of concern. Especially when AI has a political bias, regardless of where it originates.

  >most likely be a subscription-based tool that caters to specific niches and avoids product placement. Have you not been paying attention? The expensive subscription based plan will ALSO have ads and product placement. These businesses just can't help themselves

    Yes that’s possible and probable. However I dream that it will ba a paid subscription businesses model or at least non ad driven.

    who in their right mind would give up tens of billions of ad revenue? the ads are coming no matter what.

The big tech products might have this, but there will be competitors that don't.

  there will be non-rent-seeking competitors that will raise $11B and will have nothing to do with big tech. Got it.
  - HDThoreaun 4y ago
    You won't need $11B to create an LLM in a couple years. Stable diffusion has created the blueprint for open source large models. Sure it might be worse in some sense than the cutting edge ad bloated products, but some people will take that tradeoff.

    Maybe nation-states? You'd just get a different kind of ads then I guess.

    Once a model is trained thats 99% of the work. Open source models or a hacker leaking a major model will be enough to compete.

      It's been 20+ years and people still pay for Photoshop instead of using GIMP. I think it's safe to say that the commercial models will continue to be a few steps ahead of the free stuff so people will continue using them.

        Blender is the counter example. Usage of Blender far exceeds the close source alternative.
