So … now we have plausible gibberish … also known as Autocorrect on Steroids … that includes corporate sponsorship… seems like we’re moving closer to the true meaning of advertising with every iteration.
Next we’ll be asked to pay for this feature … oh wait.
I can’t wait until the Assumed Intelligence bubble finally bursts and takes with it some of the largest companies in the world … perhaps this is how we finally address climate change.
Lol imagine using AI.

…and despite that people are upvoting, because who cares about facts, let’s just hate a thing that I don’t like
The fact that ads will be injected in LLM was clear. I just thought Google would do it first in their AI responses.
That is straight-up nightmarish.
Like, people, it predicts the next “token” — referring to that as intelligence is way overstating it. I, too, think “AI” is impressive, but to say companies are overstating its capabilities is putting it lightly.
Omg, even the thing that is enshittifying everything is now being enshittified itself.
I’d wager anything this won’t even slow down the “artists” that use it.

This was the whole point of it from the start (subscriptions don’t mean non-ady enshitification).
As someone who is not anti-tool just because big companies and capitalism are misusing said tool (that’s a ‘big companies’ and ‘capitalism’ issue that applies to far more than LLMs), this seems like a non-starter for any business use of the platform.
Enterprise tools definitely have an expectation of 1) not having ads placed in them, and 2) not having their users tracked for third-party data sale, not because they love their employees, but because they’re scared one could infer proprietary business information via user metadata correlation. No company wants their new product to be “blown” early because their devs’ internet activity was aggregated and the product inferred, or worse to have a competitor get the jump on them because of it. Most companies begrudgingly accept use of e.g. Google, but corporate policies will absolutely limit the kind of information you can put in a Google search. ChatGPT is just by its nature much more likely to end up getting proprietary data put in (because it’s a ‘conversation’).
The “promise” that OpenAI will only use said data to target ads is laughable, even if OpenAI believes it.
Neo: Yeah. Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I may have a better one. How about, I give you the finger
[He does]
Neo: and you give me my phone call.
