I feel like maybe it’s slightly better that OpenAi is upfront about wanting to harvest your data, which I think is primarily to feed ChatGPT(?), while Google’s behavior is always nefarious, because their goal is to feed you ever more irresistible ads. 🤷‍♂️ I don’t know. I’m just an unfrozen caveman lawyer. Your world of technology frightens and confuses me.

A chat bot can present ads better than search result (if by better you mean in a way that is harder to see). If you ask for a recipe it can sprinkle in name brand ingredients. You ask for directions it can use chain restaurant landmarks. You ask for a summary of a sporting event it also mentions the stadium/halftime/beverage sponsor.

Agree 100%. ChatGPT does currently claim it doesn’t do that. Surely that is the truth, and will remain so forever more. Surely.

If you're not the customer...

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. “Google is nefarious” + Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer is perfection in my book.

It’s the standard lemmy knee-jerk response to any opinion about an LLM that isn’t “nuke them from orbit.”
