Advertise in ChatGPT | Hacker News Seriously?! 😳 wut da actual fuq?! 😱
@prologic@twtxt.net This was to be expected and I’m glad that it’s finally happening. I seriously hope that AI/LLM output gets swamped with advertisements or unwanted code, so people see what they have gotten themselves into, especially the “vibe coders”.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de it’s a shame we have to ruin such great technology that only depends a lot of this with crappy bullshit nonsense like advertising we’ve been into responses 🤦♂️
@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com this sort of tells me two things 1) that enterprises aren’t really engaging with OpenAI and establishing lucrative enough contractual agreements and 2) users aren’t willing to pay for ChatGPT or if they are aren’t willing to pay much more than $20 a month
@prologic@twtxt.net Our company is paying a shitload of money for all these (different) AI tools … I’m probably not allowed to tell you the exact number, but it is a lot. The only other way would be to lay off employees, so we can pay even more for AI. (Needless to say, that would be the worst possible move.)
For a private person, $20 a month is also pretty expensive, isn’t it? And then assume that you maybe need more than one AI tool. You’re quickly up to $50 a month or much more. This isn’t something that I, as a private person, will ever be willing to spend for this kind of stuff.
“AI” is just expensive as fuck. On every level. They will have to (ab)use every possible way to squeeze more money out of it, and that includes ads and what not.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh I agree. Long-term the whole thing is completely “fucked”. But it says more about “Cloud” and “X as a Service” than about “AI” itself. It’s a bit like all these fucking entertainment subscription services you need to entertain one’s self. How many subscriptions does one need to Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, Stan, etc, etc.
@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Hey, sounds exactly like the company I work(ed) for.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @klaxzy@klaxzy.net Same situation here.
