no it wouldn't, such things are straight up illegal in most places? You have to clearly disclose ads + have clear distinction between ad content and rest of content. A bunch of youtubers have gotten in trouble for this?

in these cases it seems to have actively hindered the model, no less. It gave itself hallucinated constraints, then decided it couldnt achieve the goal given the constraints, and so refused to answer, despite the complete lack of any refere
