   Why must every piece or technology, every software service or cloud "thing"™ devolve into Advertising?! That's it, I'm out. No more ChatGPT for me.

      What I'm more interested is in that the entire model is based on us being reduced to walking talking living breathing coin wallets. It's like a planet scale game where the companies are the players and we carry the loot.

      We use a great chunk of our lifespan to procure the coins and every company is designed to extract as many coins from us as possible.

      What happens to this game/real world when this model collapses? We can't procure, they can't extract. What then?

         I agree, precisely. I'm kind of sick and tired of it to be honest. What if we collectively (humanity that is), just quit? What if we all stop playing? (I think you're saying this) -- But seriously. Both OpenAI and every other place (gawd I hope others aren't doing this) need to figure out their business model fast™ and make it a viable business without devolving into this tracking, marketing and advertising bullshit some of us have only seen far too often -- that have driven us away from things like Meta/Fac** and others...
