    So first off, ads suck.

    Second, I could put up with ads if they are fully disclosed as ads with a sponsor tag or something, but if they start putting it into the conversation as if it wasn’t an ad, I’ll stop using it right away.

      This always seemed like the ultimate goal of a chatgpt or a Gemini.

      Attract: make a service that magically gives answers, killing the old ways to find or research information.

      Extract: once everyone trusts AI implicitly, weave in advertising without anyone’s knowledge, allowing for extremely subtle and effective brainwashing.

        doubt any ad blocker can do that. it isn’t like a pop ad or a banner, it’s more like the conversation recommends you sponsored products. like the normal conversations in the Truman show
