Or you go golden platinum extra special customer - to become even more addless for now. I find it hilarious that they insert the adds that manual though. It would be so easy, to generate subconcious addds with an LLM. Like weave a slogan reminder into the conversation...

  Important is to have a illusion of choice, a play-thing of liberty. A painted on door. Buttons for settings that do nothing. Freedom is the illusion of choice.

      The socialists usually do the "its not real libertarianism" when the cognitive dissonance of ideological failure hits - and the persecute the failing humans as traitors? Maybe do that too? Make "privacy settings violation" prosecutors office, demanding citizen spend at least n hours per week on the shenanigans?

I'm not sure it would be so easy to do it in a consistent, verifiable way. You can certainly prompt the LLM to work the ad into the conversation, but making sure it actually happens and is done in a way that the advertiser is going to be happy with is a lot harder.

There's a black mirror episode like this. Not quite as bad having an AI doing it, though. A woman needs this treatment after a brain injury. Iirc it clones her brain onto their servers. It's super experimental, it's a free surgery with a subscription service where you need to be within the supported area like cell towers. If she stops paying for the service she will die. They promised to expand the support area to more countries and areas, but they end up raising prices as well as adding in advertising. The advertising takes over her body at random contextual times and she basically does an ad read to the people in whatever situation. It starts happening at the school where she works, she tells a kid about a certain product after he asks her about a problem. She's gonna lose her job because it creeps everyone out, so she has to pay more to get rid of the advertising. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_People_(Black_Mirror) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_People_(Black_Mirror)

  Similar to the cloned dead kid in Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die who comes back embedded with ads and won't shut up about how much he loves "appleberry peach tea, it's only got 70 calories and it's delicious. Made from real fruit flavoring".

Probably not without changing the underlying response and tanking the benchmark ratings. Like I ask it to generate code, it tries to add a slogan reminder, now the comments on my code have Tide's slogan in them and the variables are all named "bleach". Probably less humorous than that, but the underlying point stands. People will be extremely upset about their prompts being tinkered with, and any perceived degradation in quality will be quickly attributed to them. The hidden nature of them will probably cause speculation that they do the same on the higher tier plans.

  I think the ads would be more targeted. You ask it about code, and it suggests a paid library or an app that you can pay for. It is quite interesting problem, because you could just respond with ok I want you to write whatever that library does. I don't want to pay for this. If my business was a large CRUD app, like CRM I would be worried about smaller apps popping up on the market.

Now I'm wondering if all those extra Ds in ads are a subconscious ad.
