The Enshittification may have begun of this service too.
I’m actually a paying customer myself of Chat Gpt, and I havent personally seen any ads. But it’s bad enough if this is something that will start to appear in people’s answers.
Anyone else experienced this?
Update: The reason for this was found and it wasn’t the service itself that started doing this.
So the OP asked for advertisements, forgot, then got all pissy when the AI recommended a few relevant products? What a joke
And they say ChatGPT is getting dumber…
It is, because it’s learning from the users who are dumber than ChatGTP.
Did the blog’s author just update the header of that post recently? It seems to indicate this was expected behaviour from the instructions they forgot they gave to ChatGPT.
Appearently so, yes.
It’s difficult to tell if it is an ad, or simply recommending popular relevant services. This would definitely be an insidious method given how much people trust the advice of ChatGPT.
I think that OpenAI would be required to disclose that some info is there due to paid advertising or sponsorship if that was the case, same as websites and videos disclose it.
There would have to be explicit information about what us sponsored content.
I haven’t experienced this.
Unfortunately, there’s no real way for any of us to know if it’s actually happening organically.
Of course it does.
