Those adverts and clickbait will infect llms soon enough, just be far harder to block.

  Yes, unfortunately for those saying AIs will only get better, advertising is a major reason we should expect them to get worse.

    Ironically, I wonder if it would inspire a slew of downstream services that use LLMs to clean advertising out of the mainstream LLM responses.

    With the huge usage that LLM APIs are getting in all sorts of industries, they cannot be going away, and they're cheap. If consumer AI chatbots get enshittified, you can just grab some open source bring-your-api-keys front-end, and chat away for peanuts without ads or anything anti-user. I use https://github.com/sigoden/aichat https://github.com/sigoden/aichat , but there are GUIs too. Plus, anyone enterprising can just write a web front-end and sell it as "the ad-free AI chatbot, only $10/mo, usage limits apply".

      But what if the AI output contains ads, not the UI or whatever...
