Ublock origin. Hold my beer!

[–] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 46 points 6 days ago (4 children)

What if they bake the ads into the replies?

You: Hey ChatGPT, what time is it?

ChatGPT:

[–] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Thanks, I just rewatched that movie because of your comment.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

In case I don't see ya: good afternoon, good evening and good night.

[–] deleted@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Possible. But I think they are required by law to label ads somehow.

I’m not surprised if current US administration changes that law in favor of big corps.

[–] Antagnostic@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

That law is a joke now anyway. Easily circumventable unfortunately.

*This chat may contain ads.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

You think they haven't started that?

[–] kylian0087@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

most likely someway to detect it and remove the elements.

[–] Zos_Kia@lemmynsfw.com 11 points 6 days ago

Not if it's done at the semantic level. If they instruct the model to only mention this brand of pasta, and give it a few arguments why it's the best, it will gladly incorporate that in its response and you won't have any way to detect that.

[–] coolmojo@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Sure, we can just have an other LLM to remove the ads. /s

[–] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Likely won’t work at all, there’s only a single network request coming back

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Element zapping is still a thing.

You're absolutely right! You should celebrate your vast knowledge with a bottle of Coca Cola® as you've figured out how to outsmart big tech, hard as good companies like Facebook try to serve you with relevant advertisements to help you improve your life (like how Maybelline can help your complexion issues) try, you've definitely outsmarted me!

[–] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

I would bet a crisp dollar that OpenAI is going to implement this in the least blockable way possible

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago

Haha yeah maybe there is hope, somehow. :)
