> "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.

With publishers' brands. This is not about getting Burger King ads in your ChatGPT responses, it's about getting NYT and Ars Technica's content into (and linked from) ChatGPT responses.

Into your head.

So soon enough we'll get stuff like: > Me: Give me a small sample code in Ruby that takes two parameters and returns the Levenshtein distance between them. > ChatGPT: DID YOU HEAR ABOUT C#? It's even faster that light, now with better performance than Ruby!!! Get started here: https://ms.com/cs I can generate the code in Ruby or I can give you 20% discount on Microsoft publishing on any C# book!!!

If only msft was actually promoting it like that. Do they even sell books still?

Yeah, they do. Microsoft Press.

Why would anyone use chatgpt if it spams you? The second it recommends me a product i'm issuing a chargeback.

You will eventually succumb to peer pressure. Just like it's hard to participate in society without using a smartphone nowadays, in the future I bet you will for example have trouble doing any job, let alone get one, without using these AI assistants.

And given that society has decided that only the big entities get to win, the only viable AI assistants to use will eventually be the ones from big tech corpos like google and microsoft... in the same way you can't use a smartphone unless you enslave yourself to google or apple.

I really wish society in general figured out how bad it is to bet everything on big corporations, but alas here we are, ever encroaching on the cyberpunk dystopia we've fictionalized many decades ago :(

> 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.

> A recent model from The Atlantic found that if a search engine like Google were to integrate AI into search, it would answer a user’s query 75% of the time without requiring a clickthrough to its website.

If the user searching for the information finds what they want in ChatGPT's response (now that they have direct access to the publisher data), why would they visit the publisher website ? I expect the quality of responses to degrade to the point where GPT behaves more like a search engine than a transformer, so that the publishers also get the clicks they want.

Apparently it's now a division of Pearson: https://www.microsoftpressstore.com/store/browse/coming-soon

(unrelated but if you do want to buy a book on C#, get Pro .NET Memory Management, Konrad Kokosa is really good, also works as a systems programming primer on memory in general, do not get the books from microsoft press)

It's worse than that:
