This may be true, but as far as I am concerned there aren't ads anywhere thanks to uBlock (and my own DNS server as a second line of defense).

- drnick1 8mo agoIf you mean ads served as part of the response, and not explicitly marked as ads, then there is nothing you can do. They are like sponsored sections and product placement in YT videos, and no ad blocker can help you. That being said, you have no guarantee that this won't happen even if you pay for an LLM. In fact people paying for Youtube are still subject to in-video advertising. Self-hosting open source models will be the best thing to do as models and inference engines become more optimized, and hardware becomes faster.
