That was always my assumption of the end game. You have the system prompts, an advertising bias prompt layer over top, then the user prompts.

"Naturally worded" advertising that doesn't immediately appear to be advertising and searching using natural language always seemed to be the biggest use cases for LLMs to me, considering they can't be relied on to output accurate info.

Exactly. Like big pharma paying ChatGPT to convince you that your symptoms are an illness they have pills for. It'd turn the LLMs from librarians into salesmen playing librarians lol.
