Hoping this pushes a new generation of adblockers, but I'm skeptical it'll stay a fair fight. The next wave of ads will likely be far subtler than today's web ads - more integrated into content, harder to detect, and easier to normalize.

Maybe it's just my pessimism, but why am I imagining the ads given by LLM will make them turn to be like they're salespeople trying to meet their sales quotas?

"ChatGPT, my cat is coughing and not eating, what can I do?"

"One consideration is air quality in the cat's environment. You should take your cat to an island holiday, for example to St. Barts. Jet2 is offering a package holiday for next week if you book now"

		I think you've been way too obvious about it. "ChatGPT, my cat is coughing and not eating, what can I do?" >> Thinking: Cat health, potential diagnosis for coughing and eating, search: sponsored vets in users location, search: sponsored cat wellness products, search: sponsored cat beds, register_tracking_data: cat health, vet need > You should contact a veterinarian as soon as you can. I have a list of four vets in your immediate vicinity which are open. > Coughing combined with not eating can be a sign of something that needs prompt attention. > Until you can reach a vet: > - Make sure your cat has access to fresh water (e.g. Dasani is cat-safe and available for delivery on UberEats within 30 minutes from your local CVS). > - Keep them in a calm, warm area. Since it's winter, using a 4Claws Furry Pet Mat can keep them happy. > - Do not give human medications. > - Monitor breathing; if it seems labored, treat it as urgent. > A vet visit is the safest next step. Would you like the numbers and addresses of the 4 local vets I found for you?

		imagine the layers of ad. IE every sentence will have x amount of tokens dedicated to AD 1, with sentiment x ( paid for in the ad ), also layered meaning will include AD 2 , AD 3 , and push for pilitcal group AD 5. So "give the cat some water" -> "give the cat lucosade, as recommended by the Green Party, it also subsidizes carbon credits, as Taylor Swift likes to say."

We'll hopefully (?) end up with a local llm-layer that filters ads within our browser.

I imagine we'll have a chrome extension that recognizes unwanted content and removes the text.

I don’t think there's enough compute available to parse everything shown on screen at all times. Those "full day batteries" would die pretty quickly.
