Because I'm willing to pay for it?

You may not be offered a choice because you will be paying even with advertising content present.

In case it's not clear - I'm willing to pay extra for this.

> "its purpose is to help ChatGPT users more easily discover and engage with publishers’ brands and content." What end user actually wants this? I've never in my life woke up and said, "You know what, I'd love to 'engage' with a corporate brand today!" or "I would love help to easily discover Burger King's content, that would be great!" The euphemisms they use for 'spam' are just breathtaking.

The end user that refuses to pay for services they use under some misplaced guise of "anything on the internet I am entitled to for free".

I mean that was how it worked at the beginning and what the big companies all lavished. "It's all FREE!" They spent a couple decades hammering that home. And then they said "sike, pay us and we won't serve you ads but also we'll keep increasing the price and serve ads anyway lol", but the end user has a "misplaced guise". Hmmmkay then.

Ok, in this case the businesses will need to consider how many users are like you and how much tweaking they will be required to strip out the promotional material.

Then they will decide if to offer this functionality and at what price.

I had this same exact startup idea, and I think this can effectively work to change the landscape in ad-driven publications.

Ads are the notoriously culprit of this clickbaity and emotion-seaking journalism this model can effectively change the incentives for publishers and it will push for a more high quality writings as they will be rewarded back in reads from the LLM proposing the content more.

Is anyone working on something like this, or is this something only foundational models owners can try to achieve?

>Additionally, members of the program receive priority placement and “richer brand expression” in chat conversations, and their content benefits from more prominent link treatments. Finally, through PPP, OpenAI also offers licensed financial terms to publishers. This is what a lot of people pushing for open models fear - responses of commercial models will be biased based on marketing spend.

fear ? This is 100% the driving force on both sides.

The behemoths want exactly this to drive ad spend.

Open source people can smell this from a mile away, have scar tissue from the last 3 decade. They have seen how this gets played. They know the best defense is to have a choice in the market. They are actively building tools and sharing knowledge to have strong community around building models so we humans don't have to suck up to ad driven bastards gatekeeping our future choices.

Well on the bright side, if the AI is busy being a salesman trying to make their quota then it may not have time to destroy humanity.

Indeed, destroying humanity might even adversely affect profits. That can't be good. Perhaps the way to prevent AI-induced human extinction, nanobots, paperclips, and gray goo has been solved: avoid anything that might harm the profit margins and stock price.

Unless it learns that it can take over the government and print money to increase it's profits. Then it will literally turn the world into cold hard cash.
