I had a weird experience last week where across 3 conversations on a single day, ChatGPT made several product recommendations in-app, totally unprompted. Like, it was a stretch to think I would want product recs for the given conversations. The products were shown in an app-native carousel with product cards, prices, and photos linking to various online retailers. Did this happen to anyone else?
I haven't been able to reproduce this behavior, so it may have been either a bug or a short-lived A/B test, but it looks like this[1] page went up about a week earlier
Hopefully it's not going the way I'm cynically picturing, but with Fidji Simo taking over as "CEO of Applications", and the real need for these companies to start thinking about profitability, I am having trouble imagining that it won't go this way.

- kridsdale3 1y agoThis happened to me today, but my prompt was "I want to buy some new shirts for running and I want recommendations based on different fabrics." I ended up not trusting the results and went with the advice of a human who wrote an article on runnersworld.com.
