Just wait until sponsors start paying to have ChatGPT incept ideas into your mind. "Crucial next step is to buy some Rogaine", but significantly less obvious. Or other less obvious but highly impactful behavior modification like the algorithms used by TikTok/Instagram that push you in a certain direction or reinforce existing beliefs.

That's already a thing by virtue of how "harmful" data is filtered during the training / data gathering phase. You can't expect to just remove a certain "fact" and not have its immediate precursor not show up in answers. You need to eradicate the entire chain to a certain depth, and after that, because many ideas lead to one idea (and LLMs are devoid or creativity or originality), you only have a few "winners" at the top. The long tail is always cut, and so the entire model converges to a ~~ziggurat~~ few ideas, that might have been pushed hard pre-training phase.

Or the ones already used by Google. Sarcasm aside, at least there’sa fighting chance chatgpt will remain a paid and ad free service. There’s likely to be a lot of competition soon

If it's done well, and I believe it can be given the impressively fluent conversations the current ChatGPT incarnation delivers, you wouldn't even notice that you're being manipulated or advertised at... Which makes it very insidious and dangerous IMHO.

What makes you think that isn’t the case now in other services you subscribe to?
