For some reason ChatGPT has suddenly started thinking i'm a teen. Every answer it starts out "Since you are a teen I will..." and prompts me to upload an ID to show my age. I'm 35.
Forever young, my dude. Forever young.

A lot of people are using AI as a trusted friend, because they don't really have anyone else. A good friend would, I hope, talk someone out of doing something dangerous just to get a silly viral video. With AI being trained on the internet, that's going to have a very different take on things, as the internet only cares about the spectacle, not the person performing it.
Agreed. We need to take away Internet access from psychologically susceptible people. Those with any mental illness should probably access the Internet only under supervision. They can request a URL and an online proctor can be automatically contacted who will view their screen and make sure that they are not viewing dangerous things. It is truly not just children who need protection.
Great way to ensure nobody seeks mental health treatment.

95% of what is posted on the Internet is placed with intent to harm? What?
If you consider Advertisement and News (with understanding that it is rarely unbiased) harmful, the 95% is not that far off the truth.
They're trying to make ChatGPT more attractive to advertisers.
I hope Anthropic or someone pulls an Apple and has the taste to say no to ads. Maybe it will just be Apple. (Even their resistance is slowly fading..) We don't need to jam ads into every orifice. I hope there's more value to be had not doing ads than there is to include them. I'd cancel my codex/chatgpt/claude if someone planted the flag. OpenAI seems to think it has infinite trust to burn.

If you don’t want ads, pay for ChatGPT. If you aren’t making them money via ads or subscriptions, why should they care about you?
No ads is a point of product differentiation. One among many. But in some sense ads are a natural resource curse that pervade the whole company. Again, I point to Apple vs Google/Meta.

Mandatory adblock for children is something I could support.
And adults.

I think they really should charge with micropayments, and they could even roll out their own currency for that if need be. Ads suck. Actually, all the AI companies together should choose a micropayment system to focus on. I know in fashion, I've seen what would seem like competing brands center around a common "pillar of influence." Also, if (long-tail?) AI companies work together, they could install appliances and t…

Why would you want to use a terminal for mass transit instead of your phone?

Apple makes tens of billions of dollars per year on ads. Your conception of Apple and who they are have diverged.
