Please consider this scary thought: chatGPT has not yet started the enshittification pivot. That is yet to come. It is, for now, free of ads, free of clutter, and free of (obvious) manipulation.
But of course that must change as they move into the "more profitable" part of their growth cycle.
What will advertising look like in that environment. One that is already too manipulative? One that is already playing fast and loose with the truth.
shudder with me at what is to come
