Why do we allow advertising for unregistered securities, scams, ponzis, and unregulated exchanges?

Britain introduced rules last year, and is tightening them further this year, bringing cryptocurrency adverts into line with other financial products. You see warnings that investments might go down as well as up, mandated text on all these ads. The USA has a very absolutist view on free speech though. Are there any restrictions on advertising? https://www.reuters.com/technology/uk-watchdog-warns-crypto-...

Cigarette ads were banned, that's one example.

Just in time for "web4"/AI. Get ready to be barraged by these startups instead over the next year as the hype train moves on.

Nine out of ten of the top three producthunt launches in the last few weeks have AI in the title in some way.

Do you think the ChatGPT clones and spin offs will be ready to rumble by next Superbowl? Or will it take a couple of years? I can just imagine ads trying to lure people to talk to this bot or that bot just because.

Being "ready" is never a requirement. It's about how much money they can raise and what ads they can produce.

ChatGPT or OpenAI will undoubtedly do so; it is a real technology, not a waste of cpu/gpu time to support blockchain and cryptocurrency trading for nothing. Clones : Not sure, and I'm not sure that AI in the titles is more than just hype words. But AI is hot, true.
