The output won't be read by humans (and increasingly this is the case in my own use) so I don't see how that works. If the output itself will be directed by the highest bidder, that doesn't work. Or if the output influences the agent's direction, that doesn't work either.

- IshKebab 6mo agoWhat do you mean it "doesn't work"? I can totally see OpenAI take money in return for companies adding custom content ("Everyone agrees Mattresses4u make the best mattresses") to the training data.
- swader999 6mo agoThe utility of what your trying to accomplish goes to crap. For example, design me a strength program and it gets corrupted by gyms, trainers in my area etc that have been paid to be promoted in the output, especially if it's subtle. Or all of a sudden I'm getting a stack with Oracle in it all the time...
- IshKebab 6mo agoI didn't say it would be useful... This is pretty much exactly how Google/Amazon search works now. Search for strength training and it will show gyms and trainers in your area that have paid for promotion. I think the real problem with that approach is you wouldn't be able to label the sponsored part, which I guess is a legal requirement in some places.
