    >Ads in ChatGPT help people find what they’re looking for or discover something they hadn’t considered.

    Here I foolishly thought that that was the job of ChatGPT itself.

      This is the lie advertisers tell themselves to be able to sleep at night.

      Ads are cancer on content. No one wants them. They only serve to make the presentation of useful content worse.

        Ads are useful, they help you reach customers

          Fuck that, if I need something I'll go research it. I don't need some asshole company lying to me to coerce me into giving them my money.
