    Weird they apparently did not do this already? This is the most obvious business model with those slop generators

    Who is surprised? Did anybody not see this coming? Whom amongst us is still so foolish and naive as to think the “AI” industry has any intention other than grifting you out of every last cent they can?

    I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that. But before I tell you why I’d like to take a moment to talk about today’s sponsor HelloFresh.

    Absolutely brilliant. The brink of human ingenuity. An amazingly creative solution for generating revenue. Let’s take this technology we’ve invested countless resources in and make it the 199,422nd internet advertising platform in existence. The world was desperate for another ad platform, so this can only help humanity in the long run.

    True innovation and inspired leadership.

      Seriously, if they have to resort to ad revenue then no one is getting those billions and billions invested back. I am not even sure ad revenue would cover the cost of delivering the prompt response.

    2022 OpenAI: AI will cure cancer.

    2025 OpenAI: We sell ads.

    Genius. I love how the greed of BigTech always bring them to ads. They just couldn’t admit that LLMs are not the future people want.

      This is part of why I’m so disappointed in the LLM craze, they basically sucked all attention including some promising uses of machine learning in medicine.

      Instead now we put every last memory module towards generative AI…

        The scientific uses just have to rebrand back to “machine learning” niw that “ai” is burned

      Maybe they’re trying to buffer underflow the usefulness so that it comes back around to being extremely useful. It makes as much sense as everything else in that bubble.

    I’ve been forced to use AI for work for some time now and it’s been very clear for a while that ChatGPT is an awful model

    I’ve been in a state of mild surprise people default to ChatGPT for well over a year

    If you have to use AI why on earth would you choose ChatGPT

        I’ve been using deepseek since they released. I’ve had issues, but i have issues with all of them, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        I think people should be defaulting to Gemini because it’s likely going to replace google searches entirely within a few years but also because it’s always been way more accurate with searches, answers, and pulling + operating on data from huge files and documents.

        To be clear, I’m not producing code so I’m sure some people have unique success with ChatGPT and I’ve seen it perform fine on occasion too but I think their popularity is almost entirely driven by momentum and it being mildly emotionally manipulative

    Open AI is losing money at a rate never seen before. And in those situations, the solution is always ads, ads and more ads.

    So if you think AI it’s bad now… Oh you’ve seen nothing yet.
