AI Tech “Discovers” Personalized Ads
I have to agree with Dare on this one. ChatGPT Pulse resembles many social media personalized advertising tools.
If you can’t read the post from Mastodon, Dare is describing Sam Altman’s pitch for ChatGPT Pulse:
Sam Altman’s description of ChatGPT Pulse is practically a sales pitch for an ad network. You tell ChatGPT your favorite vacation destinations and later on it gives you “updates” about these destinations? ?
Sounds like ads.
I reviewed the official press information, and I couldn’t find anything different.
ChatGPT can now do asynchronous research on your behalf. Each night, it synthesizes information from your memory, chat history, and direct feedback to learn what’s most relevant to you, then delivers personalized, focused updates the next day.
Is that not precisely what Meta and Google claim in their pitches for personalized ads? We’ll learn from watching what you do on and off the network, and deliver ads relevant to you.
OpenAI isn’t calling the “feedback” advertising yet, because they haven’t started selling ads to businesses, but does anyone think that isn’t coming next? OpenAI is currently burning through money with no end in sight. Eventually, they will need to increase revenue, and it’s unclear whether the commercial product will generate nearly as much as it costs to run ChatGPT. Many people would argue that it will never do that. Thus, advertising is coming to your AI tools very soon.
