          The disconcerting thing is that in LLMs, the ads don’t need to be signposted, advertisers can just pay to bias the LLM. You’ll have Big Pharma paying to bias the LLM into convincing people they need meds.

      Not to defend adding ads to chatgpt, but it’s quite different from an implant that turns people into walking ads.

      Also, they weren’t on the free tier, their subscription was already stretching their finances and then they added ads and a new even more expensive tier to avoid the ads.
