This seems like a very dangerous play.
The selling point of these AIs is that they can give you accurate answers. Mixing up answers and ads like this seems like a recipe for loss of trust.
I know it’s the same thing that Google did with search results, but this seems different to me.
That question is obviously correctly answered by “It’s not. Here are several alternatives that are just as good and better and cheaper or even free, etc.” But we know that won’t be the answer.
So what is the result of typing that question directly? Is it different from the result of clicking the question as an ad? Can I get the right answer anymore? Will the interface show that the answer itself is an ad? Can I switch back to an un-“bribed to give me the wrong answer” interface?
