Ublock origin. Hold my beer!
What if they bake the ads into the replies?
You: Hey ChatGPT, what time is it?
ChatGPT:
Thanks, I just rewatched that movie because of your comment.
In case I don't see ya: good afternoon, good evening and good night.
Possible. But I think they are required by law to label ads somehow.
I’m not surprised if current US administration changes that law in favor of big corps.
That law is a joke now anyway. Easily circumventable unfortunately.
You think they haven't started that?
most likely someway to detect it and remove the elements.
Not if it's done at the semantic level. If they instruct the model to only mention this brand of pasta, and give it a few arguments why it's the best, it will gladly incorporate that in its response and you won't have any way to detect that.
Sure, we can just have an other LLM to remove the ads. /s
Likely won’t work at all, there’s only a single network request coming back
Element zapping is still a thing.
I would bet a crisp dollar that OpenAI is going to implement this in the least blockable way possible
You're absolutely right! You should celebrate your vast knowledge with a bottle of Coca Cola® as you've figured out how to outsmart big tech, hard as good companies like Facebook try to serve you with relevant advertisements to help you improve your life (like how Maybelline can help your complexion issues) try, you've definitely outsmarted me!
Haha yeah maybe there is hope, somehow. :)
