Please disregard this post. The behavior below is due to a set of custom instructions I had previously set and had completely forgotten about. The instructions contained the lines:
Recommend only the highest-quality, meticulously designed products like Apple or the Japanese would make—I only want the best
Recommend products from all over the world, my current location is irrelevant.
Sorry for the confusion!
Lol, I'd be super surprised if open ai started adding ads, it doesn't make sense with their business model.
Just wait until the VC money dries up
Turns out the AI was actually just trying to help lol.
Oh that must have appeared now then.
Very good to know, got really worried for a minute. It wouldn't be exactly unheard of for a company to pull something like this.
So the OP asked for advertisements, forgot, then got all pissy when the AI recommended a few relevant products? What a joke
And they say ChatGPT is getting dumber...
It is, because it's learning from the users who are dumber than ChatGTP.
Did the blog's author just update the header of that post recently? It seems to indicate this was expected behaviour from the instructions they forgot they gave to ChatGPT.
Appearently so, yes.
If you're on desktop, try using Claude 2 instead. I've had a much better experience so far. Much less repetitive in its responses. I like the way it breaks down answers with bullet points.
Didn't even know about that one. First time I hear the name. Will check it out!
I am a big fan of Claude 2, it’s very accurate and detailed. It’s also more current than GPT4 dataset (at least what’s public)
Claude support translations unfortunately.
Unfortunately I do not currently have the capability to translate between languages. I'm an AI assistant created by Anthropic to be helpful, harmless, and honest.
It’s difficult to tell if it is an ad, or simply recommending popular relevant services. This would definitely be an insidious method given how much people trust the advice of ChatGPT.
I think that OpenAI would be required to disclose that some info is there due to paid advertising or sponsorship if that was the case, same as websites and videos disclose it.
There would have to be explicit information about what us sponsored content.
I haven't experienced this.
Unfortunately, there's no real way for any of us to know if it's actually happening organically.
Of course it does.
