The memories are the moat. Regardless of the current or future capability, most users already view chatgpt as a personal confidant that they are investing energy into building a relationship with. That will be a far stronger moat than anything else

I’ve had a couple of instances where when I describe a requirement, ChatGPT would not list an open source project like n8n and happen to only remember paid alternatives.

It’s an advertiser’s wet dream, being able to slowly creep and manipulate even the most uninterested people into using a product.

And it’s so personalized that ChatGPT may even refuse to tell you about products that are not paying them a cut and this can put out a company entirely out of business, because unlike search engines, the customer might not even learn about your product despite directly asking for it.

Pretty sure FTC rules force bloggers to disclose if they're being paid to promote a product. Maybe someone will be able to make a lot of money suing OpenAI if they violate those rules.

I hope so, because a similar thing is happening with dynamic pricing at grocery stores and nothing is being done yet.

We’re about to be charged whatever we could afford to pay for a product. Thanks Kroger.

Dynamic pricing at grocery stores really concerns me.

Hiking up the price of an item because you have to buy it now for whatever reason.

Kroger couldn’t even imagine how bad the locked cart wheels could get, there’s no way they can control the pushback elegantly.

Oh, you need milk now because your baby is crying, let me jack up the price. I can easily see people getting violent at grocery stores.
