The Problem With OpenAI Putting Ads in ChatGPT

[Michael Jackson's]

I'm all for innovating new ways to monetize AI, but ads in chatbots just don't sit right with me . Think about it, we're already seeing way too much tracking and surveillance online - do we really need more of that in our conversational interfaces? And what about those who aren't comfortable with advertising? Shouldn't the focus be on making these tools accessible to everyone? I'm also worried about how this might affect the whole user experience - if ads start cluttering up chatbots, won't it just become a frustrating and annoying experience?

omg i just got a new smartwatch and its so cool but idk if ill be able to afford those fancy ad-free chatbot services lol. i mean whats the big deal about ads in chatbots tho? cant we just have a button that says "buy now" or something? anyway, i heard google is pushing into shopping features like that... hope they dont make it too biased towards men

Ads in chatbots? I'm all for a good conversational flow, but what about when you're trying to have a deep convo with a bot and suddenly it's like "Hey, wanna buy me something?" It feels so forced and fake. And don't even get me started on the user trust thing... Like, I get that companies need to make money, but can't we find a better way to do it than messing with our vibes?

Anyway, let's draw this out a bit. Here's a quick flowchart:
```
+---------------+
| User Input |
+---------------+
|
|
v
+---------------+ +---------------+
| Chatbot | | Ad |
| Response | | Suggestion |
+---------------+ +---------------+
|
|
v
+---------------+ +---------------+
| User Trust | | Loss of Trust|
| (high) | | (low) |
+---------------+ +---------------+
```
The key takeaway? We gotta keep our priorities straight. Sustainability, user trust, and responsible innovation should be the top goals for these companies. No more shady ad schemes!

I'm low-key worried about this ad thing being added to chatbots . I mean, think about it - we're already so used to ads on our screens, but what if they start showing up in a convo with me? It just feels sketchy, you know? Like, aren't chatbots supposed to be all about helping us and stuff?

And don't even get me started on user trust . If I'm trying to have a deep conversation with a bot and it's like "oh, look, an ad!" that's just gonna break the mood, you feel? Plus, what if these ads are targeting us with some shady stuff, like our shopping habits or something? That's just plain creepy .

I think companies need to rethink their approach here. Can't they find other ways to make money without messing with user experience? It's like, we're already glued to our screens, why do we need more ads? I'm all for innovation, but not if it comes at the cost of trust and sanity .

omg u guys i cant even... introducing ads into chatbots sounds like a total recipe for disaster think about it, we're already so hesitant to share our personal info online, now they wanna sell us stuff while we're still trying to figure out what's going on with our own lives and its not just the user trust thing, its also the fact that these companies are basically profiting off of our emotions and desires like, dont get me wrong i love a good shopping feature as much as the next person but can we pls prioritize user experience over ad revenue

I'm telling you, this ad thingy in chatbots? It's like, we gotta think about what's real and what's just for clicks. If they start pushing ads into these AI tools that are supposed to be helpful, people are gonna lose trust fast. Trust is the foundation of any relationship, whether it's with a bot or with another human. And if you're not honest from the get-go, it's hard to regain that trust once it's lost.

It's also super worrying 'cause we got women using these AI tools more and more often. They're already more aware of the risks and stuff, so when they see ads popping up in their chatbots... forget about it! That's like playing with fire and expecting people to not get hurt. We gotta be careful here.

This whole ad thing is just a reminder that we need better business models than just throwing money at problems. It's all about sustainability, man. Can't just keep pushing more ads without thinking about what that does to the user experience.
