@arstechnica As it is, generative AI is not profitable. Ads aren’t going to save them.

@arstechnica “OpenAI says that ChatGPT will maintain “answer independence,” meaning that, despite the incorporation of advertising, those ads will not influence the answers that the chatbot serves to users. The company has also promised not to sell users’ data to advertisers.”

They have just explained how they will make even more money once this initial phase has been normalized.

@arstechnica this is a sign of a declining market, both in venture capital and revenue. If you have multi PhD level intelligence, as they claim, you could develop amazing software and products and out compete the world on price. If however that is all hype and your burning money, then all you can do is try and sell adverts to monitise your web traffic.

@arstechnica
I won't use it no matter how free it is.

@arstechnica 🤣🤮👎

@arstechnica They've found a way to make it worse! Slop or ad - how can you tell the difference?

@arstechnica Testing ads? How about adding tests?
