It would be kinda odd if you asked ChatGPT for advice on buying anything and your answer would be a mix of cheap amazon/aliexpress style crap. How would ChatGPT highlight ads in this context?

That's the neat part, they won't highlight the ad content. The entire plan, from the start, was to weave ads in seamlessly.

I guess that regulators will require disclosing what is an ad and what isn't.
