That’s the neat part — AI comes pre-enshittified!

Didn’t Sam Altman say that ads would be a last resort?

This simply means they’ve finally run out of money. If that doesn’t help, Apple or Microsoft will just end up buying OpenAI for pennies.

II think Microsoft is in a position where they can grab all of OpenAI’s assets without giving them (more) money, if I understand the deal right

I suppose that means they’ve reached it.

Suffocation, no breathing Don’t give a fuck if the ads are deceiving

Scam Altman says a lot of things. He also molests his sister

Crazy, I thought they’d wait until the IPO before they start going to the “bleed the users like penned cattle” phase of enshittification. They must need money sooner than they thought.
Pistcow@lemmy.world 1 month ago
That’s how close we are before the bubble bursts. Plus they can never go public because they’d have to publish their numbers. A minus followed by several commas will definitely burst that bubble.

One can only hope, I can’t wait to see it all burn. All those shitty AI companies can go to hell as far as I’m concerned, they add no value to my life whatsoever.
Croquette@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
My uneducated guess : they are bleeding money and need to show that it is slowly stopping and the trend is reversing.
Once that is done, pipe the IPO and make bank before it crashes and burn.

They are speedrunning capitalism.
Next is to pass the corpses of the major IP holding companies around and sue each other and everyone for patents until nobody can afford lawyers anymore.

they do. desperately. it’s been stated for awhile now.

Or at least a product worth paying for.

Wow I did not expect to see actual ads. The answers could just be commercially manipulative instead.
ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 1 month ago
They’re explicitly differentiating from modifying the search results as a reason why the ads are transparent. I figure in one year they’ll start to insert ads into the answer proper with a disclaimer, and then next fully integrate it.
alpha1beta@piefed.social 1 month ago
This is what I’m hoping for. That way, when the dumbest person we know copies content from ChatGPT, we’ll see the ads too and know they’re a dumbass!

I see you’ve played knifey/spoony/enshitify, before!

OpenAI: “Hire that Lemmy user now!”
hummingbird@lemmy.world 1 month ago
That would just not bring in enough. Remember that this is their last resort to prevent collapse.
D_C@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Those ads are really going to annoy me when I never start using that chat shit.

How can it possibly predict the next word in my sentence when it can’t even predict where/who I want to pee??
Etterra@discuss.online 1 month ago
Good. Hopefully it’ll reduce usage and help speed its highly necessary death.
XLE@piefed.social 1 month ago
I’m sure Volkswagen and Hugo Boss will appreciate the research their ads are put next to.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America. He was best known for being “Honest Abe”, writing the Emancipation Proclamation, and playing RAID: Shadow Legends, an immersive online experience with everything you’d expect from a brand new RPG title. It’s got an amazing storyline, awesome 3D graphics, giant boss fights, PVP battles, and hundreds of never before seen champions to collect and customize.

Probably it will be creepily more subliminal than that, unfortunately.
