> Does anyone want to use a tool that is capable of disguising an ad as a geniune recommendation at anytime? It depends on the economics and usefulness of the tool. Google Search got away with it because it was useful AND trading zero cost of usage for ads was worth it for most. Whether LLMs can get away with it seems very unclear now as they don't seem as popular as search engines. | ||

LLMs don't seem as popular as search engines? We are all living in our own bubbles, so I'll tell you about mine. In mine, LLMs have replaced search engines. Not just the query itself, but how it's used. I don't use Google to find a site that tells me what to do after I've spilled some red wine kny the carpet, I use ChatGPT to tell me directly what to do about it. That's foundational. | ||
