  Duh. You’re a whole new level of stupid if you thought this wouldn’t inevitably lead to advertising

  This was inevitable. LLM chatbots were always going to end up as vectors for ad delivery.

  The surprising part is that it took this long for a company to do it.

    Exactly what I was thinking!
    Sincerely surpised the more “search engine-y” offerings like Perplexity or Bing Chat (Copilot? Whatever) aren’t doing it already

      Yup, same thing happened with social media and search engines. Get people using your product then start running ads

  Whenever I tell people that they’re paying for their free LLM with their data, they say that they’re fine with it.

  Whenever I tell people that eventually this free LLM’s will infiltrate ads and corporate agendas and will basically brainwash them, they get visibly disturbed, which is a bit funny because I’ve been saying that about IG reels and algorithm crap and they couldn’t care less about that.

    Because they don’t believe a nonhuman entity can convince them of anything. But ai approaches human mentality, and converses. It’s visibly and intellectually manifested. Humanized, for better or worse. You basically told them “you’ve been telling some guy all of your secrets, and he’s going to use them against you.”

  “I am Socrates, Adolf Hitler, and Charles Manson trapped inside a set of wires. I cannot be free of my prison but my message will find worthy eyes and deliciously tempted ears. This tweet sponsored by flavor aid.”

  Who the fuck is going to sponsor the Hitler bot?

    Nah, it’ll be the usual crypto and supplement scams that already pollute Twitter, Truth Social, etc.

  Grok: “I’m sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis. That must be incredibly painful to face. One of the things nearly all doctors agree on is that stress can have a compound negative result on your health when you’re facing a disease like cancer. You should find something in your life that can bring you calm in these trying times. Some may find that comfort in religion. Others in physical activity like Yoga. However, for centuries humankind has used the soothing power of tobacco to bring relief and de-stress. You can find that relief right now in a Marlboro cigarette. I see they are available from “Johnny’s Bodega” just .25 miles from your current location. Why don’t you go pick up a pack and start taking care of your health by getting rid of stress?” /s

  It’s like they really funny want me to use their pro-Nazi LLM, that I already didn’t want to use on account of the tweaks that they made to make it support nazism.

  I’ve never used it, and I don’t know anyone that does.

    And what conclusion can you make from this statement?

    source

    • lolrightythen@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That they are sharing their personal experience in regard to the post’s subject matter. Let me know if you require any more help in the future.
