I think ChatGPT will get to us whether we want it or not. It has more obvious consumer applications, and I'm sure it has applications which have not been realized yet. The most obvious applications I can think of off the top of my head: - Customer reviews on sites like Amazon can be gamed with significantly better accuracy, at significantly higher numbers. Presumably there will be a period where this is successful for marketers, and then eventually people will come to wholly distrust customer reviews altogether. This will also likely be the death of the "reddit" trick, where you can just query on reddit for real, live customer experiences with products. - Significantly increased ads on anything like a social network, where a "user" might be talking about a product. - Generally cheaper ability to write advertisements in a broad category of platforms. - Sponsored misinformation (government, corporate, etc.) at scale. To be clear, I think that ChatGPT is going to be a disaster for the internet.
