- tjr 3y agoI imagine it will go through a period of reasonably subtle product placement text before switching over to outright ads mid-sentence.

It’s like a sponge. A regular towel doesn’t work wet. This works wet or dry. This is for the house, the car, the boat, the RV. ShamWow! holds 12 times its weight in liquid. Look at this. It just does the work. Why would you want to work twice as hard? It doesn’t drip. It doesn’t make a mess. Wring it out. You wash it in the washing machine. Made in Germany—you know the Germans always make good stuff! -lp with that"
- antonvs 3y agoHopefully we’ll be able to ask ChatGPT to spell it “chamois” in future communications. There needs to be a line drawn somewhere.
- YetAnotherNick 3y agoYes, I don't have the exact design in mind, but I think it is very likely that LLM could bring a new era of advertisement. AI who knows the product that is being advertized and the user and their current state of mind really well to have order of magnitudes of probability of action that the advertiser want. AI could also maintain better ad quality and provide better experience to user, as now people are finally getting fully desensitized to all the scammy ads with full screen banner. This could really be the next big thing from AI which I believe is solvable using current generation of LLM. And this will be the next trillion dollar company.
- evgen 3y agoA good AI that can filter out the ads and product placement from the stream coming from a such a compromised AI is the next step. Let the AI phase of the advertising wars begin!
- selfhoster11 3y agoI'd rather just cancel my internet subscription.
- JohnFen 3y agoThat would be a very effective way of ensuring that I don't use LLMs for anything ever.
- esperent 3y agoAren't they legally required to clearly differentiate advertising text from other text? At least in the EU.
- tjr 3y agoIf ChatGPT just feels like casually mentioning how amazing the latest Fiat Panda is, and how great it's priced, and how cool you would look when driving it, and how the current model happens to come in your favorite shade of puce, all whilst having a nice little chat with you about parsing JSON with Python, is that really problematic?
- sa-code 3y agoYeah it's only nice because they haven't enshittified yet. I would give it 2 years
- DrSiemer 3y agoWhy on earth would you use an ad ridden AI? Just use your own AI and have it filter out all the nonsense. Smart ad blockers will soon be able to find and eliminate stuff like sponsored content automatically. Glasses that automatically blank or replace billboards in real life might actually convince me AR is more than just a gimmick.
- rchaud 3y agoWhy imagine? Google's founders themselves wrote in their thesis that an ad business would compromise the quality of search results over time.
