      I sure hope so. I saw at least one poll indicating that nobody would use LLM products if they actually had to pay what it costs to operate.

    It’s like taking a screwdriver and removing the bit. Users are so used to copy/pasting content from LLMs, but now it’ll require at least a proofread to make sure you’re not randomly promoting Palantir to your grandmother.

    This was inevitable. It’ll be fun to see the initial glut of “here’s an essay a student turned in with a Papa John’s ad in the middle of a paragraph”, though.

    Along with ads I’m convinced they’ll eventually bias the model in favor of the highest bidder(s), regardless of the tier. They’ll argue the bias is “not really an ad”.

      I noticed google and others removing results powerful groups want removed. Talk of defective products like best buy mp3s that break within 6 months post 2021? Only the company that makes them is shown, their help forum they moderate. Ten pahes deep they gave 300 pages of that same forum and the rest off topic. Not even trying to give what you asked for.

      Video streaming links? Gone. Only the pay ones are on there now. A whole bunch of others google enshitified hard after 2020, the rest followed, in a shittrust, remaining competitors agree to all enshit to make money and not compete on it.

      We know it can work better, because it did work better.
