Earlier quoted context omitted.

A lot of the text on 99helpers is very new, and needs more polish. So I get your point.

What does Poland have to do with this?!

Polish as in shine (or is this a joke)?

I don’t think this is what it’ll look like. Ads are going to be way insidious. One major power of these chatbots is persuasion. The end goal isn’t bombardment it’s going to be more subtle.

Ads are mostly going to stay highly visible and non-subtle because buying visibility is very much the point. Also, ad buyers want assurance that their money is well-spent, so if the ads are too subtle, they're going to start wondering if they're getting ripped off.

To make it more realistic, there should be multiple simultaneous AI-generated videos randomly playing with overlapping sound tracks.

Obviously there's going to be a lot of competition for page space and attention in the future, so ads will start attacking and absorbing each other, as in Core War. Make it so!

Yep agree video ads will be a thing. Will add it for a next version

It’s strange to see extreme amount of hysteria on this. There’s enough market competition to not allow this.

If ChatGPT is doing it then just move to Claude. If all are doing it then surely opensource models are a good alternative.

But i think leaning into the hysteria provides some comfort

Since we all use the AI and tell it our secrets, it will be able to fine-tune the ads for us, especially if it can slurp up all of the data that the big ad companies like google and meta have on us :-p Exciting times!

Thats also supposedly what google search should do, and especially fb (and social media), yet it still feels generic

I asked it to write a program. But that program itself contained no ads. I guess there are still improvements to be made.

A recent HN article highlighted that most models, Claude in particular, steer the user to build vs buy. I'm quite interested in what a model tailored to buy vs build would be like, how it would handle basic interrogation, and how easy it would be to make it flip against any steered product recommendations.

Also, don't forget to install our local ad blocking LLM. Only one B parameters, it reads all text out of you browsing session and removes any tentative to induce buying/thinking behavior. Best in town...

Fight fire with fire
