My wife asked for information about a product, and ChatGPT fed her a handful of blatant product ads. She told the AI never to do that again, and that was the last time she saw that format of output.

I would wager that she was part of an A/B testing group, so her instruction may not have any real effect. However, we were both appalled by that output and immediately discussed alternative AI options, should such a change become permanent.

This isn’t the rise of Google, where they have a vastly superior product and can boil us frogs by slowly serving us more and more ads. We are already boiling mad from having become hypersensitive to products wholly tainted by ads.

We ain’t gunna take it anymore.
