I’ve seen this headline like eight times now over the last six months

Yeah, no shit. The enshittification of the already shitty LLMs has begun.
Glad I never bothered using them and carried on using my brain. AI and Machine learning have great specific applications, general LLMs are a useless autocomplete averageing enging that can’t ever create anything new, only regurgitate whatever they’ve been trained on.
I’d rather shit in my hands and clap than use ChatGPT.

Aaaaand this is why I never got into any of these assistants.
ohwhatfollyisman on
why do they need to test their ads, though? why can’t they just have chatgepetto tell them how effective the ads will be?
JudasHungHimself on
Are they gonna cleverly add the ads to answers and make the answers even less trustworthy than they already are?
tayroc122 on
Saw that coming from the start, and if you didn’t you just didn’t bother to read up on recent history.

It’s not like this wasn’t predictable. AI companies are in a squeeze to monetize as efficiently as possible. Not only will they employ ads directly with paid services but they’ll handle the ad tracking features as well.

What, gonna recommend me products in my prompts? Product placement in my results? Make me drink a verification can?
sloggo on
So we’re talking about manipulating the text that comes out of the prompt, right? in ways that huge portions of the user base won’t be aware is happening. You’ll be nudged to buy this or that, or think this or that way about political campaigns.
People are using these tools for _therapy_?! Right? that’s the level of trust they’re assigning.
And now they’re going to be conversationally encouraged in the direction of paying, yet invisible, customers. There is no regulation on this. There is no telling what they have to disclose regarding who’s paying and manipulating the responses.
It’s a scary world ahead we can’t come up with _some_ kind of societal control on this.
Edexote on
Of course. Ads. Why the fuck is the objective ALWAYS to sell more ads? Is it really that much profitable or do companies follow this only when they run out of ideas to make more money?

Enshittification is *way* ahead of schedule
TameTheAuroch on
Already cancelled my subscription. Expensive, shitty, slow, unreliable and buggy. Post GPT-5 it is just garbage, if they enshitify it further with ads and other bs even more users will leave.
DressedSpring1 on
And then your job mandates you to use AI and now you have to be fed ads so you can pay your housing costs and not end up on the street. Sweet future we’ve built
painteroftheword on
So is this shoehorning adds into the interface, amending the answer based on advertisers preferred response, or both?
If it’s amending responses will there be a notification of when the answer has been altered to accommodate advertisers and who the advertiser(s) are? Most likely not.

>reportedly
Look there’s a big fat NDA preventing me from saying who, but this is already a thing. We even internally cut off use of one AI company, because they’re working with a competitor instead.
MaksimilenRobespiere on
Well, it’s already started for me yesterday when it gave me couple of brands and shopping links for my probiotics question.
I immediately closed it with a disgust like a reflex though.
EWDnutz on
Not surprised. Many people called this.
Now whether or not these ads are going to be in the paid subscription plans is the real question.
Educational-Cry-1707 on
Prefect timing as I just cancelled my subscription
Paresseux1 on
Finally! Hey, OpenAI, there is no need to limit this to employees at the start. Just go whole hog and get us the ads we crave. Make sure to obfuscate them just enough that I might start reading them before realizing it’s even an ad.
Virtual-Oil-5021 on
Use this call like a gun on my head… But in final i will please that chatGPT become the new empty facebook XD
blackrain1709 on
Ika cancel my subscription right away..
..provided I ever notice it UBLOCK ARMY ASSEMBLE
RottenPingu1 on
Let me know how it goes.
Alfiewoodland on
Wow every Reddit comment is going to be full of ads now.
Maybe the change will be refreshing though, like the cool, crisp taste of Coca Cola™?
Realistic-Duck-922 on
Peace out, OpenAI. This guy might go to prison.

Of course it is.

Thank you for deciding on my exit 😌

I’ll stick to local AI.

This is wholly stupid, especially when they’re in the midst of getting killed by Gemini at the moment.

I wonder if it’ll hallucinate products that don’t exist

Well yea, of course the worst thing humanity has created in nearly a century will be filled with ads

People should be getting ready to not use and rely on this piece of useless garbage tech.

This would be fucked up.
