I'm not a huge fan of the unsolicited spam/letters/coupons/etc I get in my mail box from businesses and there's no way for me to opt out.

- sgustard 10mo agoI have more confidence that if I reply "never contact me again" to AI it might actually obey, unlike any people that have spammed me.
- jayd16 10mo ago...until that rolls off the context window.
- awesome_dude 10mo agoFTR Some jurisdictions have laws where you can place a sign on your letterbox to prohibit that sort of spam from being placed in your mail.
- jayd16 10mo agoNot sure how relevant that is but yeah, that sucks too.
- LoganDark 10mo agoI think they're saying that businesses getting unsolicited offers from the LLM is similar to regular people getting unsolicited offers from businesses.
- LunaSea 10mo agoCost and scale aren't the same though
- NewsaHackO 10mo agoCorrect, this is one guy doing an experiment sending a dozen emails out, and the other is ad companies sending to millions of people.
- jovial_cavalier 10mo agoYou can actually act on the advertisements and coupons, though. And the companies who sent those offers to you are obligated to abide by them. This potentially would be like if you got a BOGO coupon in the mail and when you tried to redeem it, they just pretended like it didn't exist.
- nonethewiser 10mo agoThis isn't even that - isn't it contacting people about using services they publicly offer?
