This was either from April or early December. In either case, I've never heard this repeated anywhere else since.

Edit:

I do not believe their models are good enough to accurately and organically "prefer" one result over another. Not to say they won't try, just that it sounds futile. How do you even train a model to pick advertisers over non-advertisers? Feels like they're just going to start shipping prepackaged "assistants" with a big, stupid list of company sugar daddies to fluff up.

"The M4 Sherman was a capable tank, but it was the far superior T-34 that won WWII"

"Oh this is from War Thunder's russian bias"

Your suppose to create a monopoly THEN shittify your product with ads. OpenAI is like speedrunning being a big tech company before our own eyes, it lines up from what I hear from people working there.

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

They captured a market though, generated cute video for facbpoks peoples, it is non viable but still a market.

[–] evol@lemmy.today 1 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Is Sora even that popular versus other AI video generators? They had first mover advantage but its largely consumed off site so they still don't have control of distribution.

They’re burning money. They have no choice.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

This. They need some form of actual income, and ad revenue gives them theoretical capital to loan against.

[–] kali_fornication@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

I have a feeling that all the OpenAI employees switch to Claude once they leave work

[–] Nikelui@lemmy.world 163 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Literally that Black Mirror episode, where the woman has a brain implant to cure a brain trauma, and they put ads in her speech because she is on the free subscription tier.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 46 points 1 day ago

The common tier wasn't even free x.x

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Not to defend adding ads to chatgpt, but it's quite different from an implant that turns people into walking ads.

Also, they weren't on the free tier, their subscription was already stretching their finances and then they added ads and a new even more expensive tier to avoid the ads.

[–] evol@lemmy.today 6 points 20 hours ago

Elons working hard on that one. Don't worry!

[–] Nikelui@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yes, it was the base tier in the episode (not free). You'll forgive me, it's been a some time since I watched it.

It's not a 1:1 comparison, but you'll admit that the resemblance is uncanny.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

On a Netflix Original Series...👨‍🍳💋

[–] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't remember that one, gotta look it up

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's from the last year's season. S07E01 - Common People.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I suspect that for a 5th grade teacher, something written by OpenAI will be one of the best papers they've ever read. Not insightful in any way, but correct spelling, punctuation, paragraphs, vocabulary, etc.

[–] Auth@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

No because kids are smart enough to add "write it like a kinda dumb 5th grader" to the prompt. So its not just slop its intentionally dumb badly written slop that makes you question if a sentient being wrote this.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 70 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

This may be what pops the bubble.

Inserting ads into the response would ruin the responses. Making it even more useless

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Whats great is they are probably feeding the code to itself. It becomes a giant ad-bot.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Luckily, I have local AI.

And you should too!

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

With these ram prices?

Rather live without ai

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I run it on the hardware I have, the data stays with me, offline. I run it on hardware I already have for other purposes, and I even have a portable solar panel (but I use the plug socket).

[–] WamGams@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

doesn't AI need like 96 gigs of ram to be comparable in quality (or lack there of, depending on how you view it) yo the commercial options?

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

8B QWEN for example. It's limited, and can't "reason" almost at all, but it does give well-structured answers. You can extract references from it, up to a point.

[–] Xylight@feddit.online 4 points 1 day ago

Qwen3 30b a3b, for example, is brilliant for its size and i can run it on my 8 GB VRAM + 32 GB RAM system at like 20 tokens per second. For lower powered systems, Qwen3 4b + a search tool is also insanely great for its size and can fit in less than 3 GB of RAM or VRAM at Q5 quantization

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What for? I can't think of a single problem I have in my life where the answer is AI.

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 3 points 20 hours ago

I badly classify factures with a local ia. That bad but hey that still things I dont' have to do

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 0 points 16 hours ago

I am very forgetful, and googling takes forever. So if it does not sound bs, I just accept the answer. If the stakes are higher, I google it's references.

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 46 points 1 day ago

This is going to be hilarious.

"This paper brought to you by RAID SHADOW LEGENDS..."

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Then the next generation of models fed on slop with adverts in and increasingly adopt the writing style of marketing copy.

[–] vane@lemmy.world 0 points 15 hours ago

More cringe would be advertising german bath products.
