    Generally, I’m against advertising, but using it to poison AI output is something I can get behind.

    Several posts are saying this would be a good thing. Maybe, if implemented like the meme shows, but I worry ads in LLM chatbot output have the potential to be the most insidious and persuasive form of advertising we’ve ever seen. Chatbots are – by their nature – conversational and pushed in forms that are meant to eliminate any sort of thinking on the part of the user. And more and more, people are using them as their closest, most trusted confidants. Who’s to say a (e.g.) political candidate won’t pay to control the narrative of a chatbot, and have their propaganda (“ads”) appear as a private conversation between an individual and their trusted “friend” or “partner”?

    Deploy the hypnobots! Marketing +10000%!

    The timeline with the current AI sounds like ripoff from “the paper clips” game, where the only task is to make the number go up. If you play that game, you’ll spot that dark patterns used have spread everywhere since.

    it doesn't end well for us.

    eventually consuming the earth and universe, converting them into paper clips. 100% addiction game.

    Note that 5th grade papers are always just horrible to read. This is why I don’t like LLM output, because it sounds just like 5th grade papers. Not a soul wants to read middle school papers.

    So I think broadly speaking the LLMs can generate middle school papers generally fine, at least they fit in.
