Sorry to pick on your comment, but this type of thinking drives me crazy.

How is it so baked into the culture that "enshittify with ads and do the bare minimum" is the plan at this point?

What are you going to do when companies start winning based on offering good value for products with integrity?

Would you blindly copy that? How long would it take?

Is the drive to enshittify nature or nurture?

Argh.

I'll wake up.

why just take money from the user when you can also take from advertisers? you're asking the ai questions because you don't know any better yourself, as long as the answer it gives is reasonably plausible, you'll accept it.

The amount of time Microsoft and Google wonder about how they lost me as a customer is surely 0.

I share your frustration. It ought to be different, and some companies are, but embedding ads in chatbots seems inevitable the world that is.

it's based on crazy amounts of evidence
