Here we go… It took them some time but ads is going to be inside chat gpt as well. And impossible to block.
You must log in or # to comment.
Sounds like my AI usage is gonna fall from “infrequent” to “never”, if the ads are indeed unblockable…
Rapid enshittification, people will just use on of the others on the long list of alternatives. I currently recommend either DeepSeek v3.2-Exp or Kimi K2 Thinking.
If the product is free…
BigTech 101
They actually put ads in paid products also now. :)
Never enough ads, never enough revenue.
The big problem is that we have long stepped over that line.
Now even when you pay you are still shown ads (maybe, but not surely, not-targeted) and your data is still scrapped and analyzed to hell and back.
Hmm stunned disbelief, I tell ya. How on earth did anyone ever think this could happen, big corpo putting ads inside the most hyper targeted machine the world has ever seen. How could they ever decide to do this
Most obvious thing to ever happen since ads being added to Instagram feeds. It’s a search engine replacement. It was going to end up with basic advertisments eventually. Then targeted advertisements. Then sponsored results as sneaky as they can be in the case of suggesting the best solution/product. Free open source models and stuff like proton and duckduckgo if you really want to use AI search engines
And on that day, nobody was surprised.
They’re already getting sued over ChatGPT helping people commit suicide. Imagine the uproar once the advice comes with ads for rope, knives, etc…
And the enshitification cycle continues…
Do you think it’s possible to run the cycle too quickly? Like, shouldn’t you make sure your product has been
widelymaximally adopted first before you make it shittier?May be that’s just hopium
Even the enshittification cycle got enshittified.
Glorious.
Late stage enshitification.
yes, this is how bubbles pop
Well, you go as wide as you can, then try to cash in.
Looks like, given that porn and ads are both imminent, they think this is maximum adoption.
Ublock origin. Hold my beer!
Likely won’t work at all, there’s only a single network request coming back
Element zapping is still a thing.
You’re absolutely right! You should celebrate your vast knowledge with a bottle of Coca Cola® as you’ve figured out how to outsmart big tech, hard as good companies like Facebook try to serve you with relevant advertisements to help you improve your life (like how Maybelline can help your complexion issues) try, you’ve definitely outsmarted me!
I would bet a crisp dollar that OpenAI is going to implement this in the least blockable way possible
What if they bake the ads into the replies?
You: Hey ChatGPT, what time is it?
ChatGPT:
Thanks, I just rewatched that movie because of your comment.
You think they haven’t started that?
Possible. But I think they are required by law to label ads somehow.
I’m not surprised if current US administration changes that law in favor of big corps.
That law is a joke now anyway. Easily circumventable unfortunately.
*This chat may contain ads.
most likely someway to detect it and remove the elements.
Sure, we can just have an other LLM to remove the ads. /s
Not if it’s done at the semantic level. If they instruct the model to only mention this brand of pasta, and give it a few arguments why it’s the best, it will gladly incorporate that in its response and you won’t have any way to detect that.
Haha yeah maybe there is hope, somehow. :)
