    Grok: “I’m sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis. That must be incredibly painful to face. One of the things nearly all doctors agree on is that stress can have a compound negative result on your health when you’re facing a disease like cancer. You should find something in your life that can bring you calm in these trying times. Some may find that comfort in religion. Others in physical activity like Yoga. However, for centuries humankind has used the soothing power of tobacco to bring relief and de-stress. You can find that relief right now in a Marlboro cigarette. I see they are available from “Johnny’s Bodega” just .25 miles from your current location. Why don’t you go pick up a pack and start taking care of your health by getting rid of stress?” /s

    Yes of course, I can answer that for you. But before that, let me talk to you about Raid: Shadow Legends.

    Now AI slop not only going to contain:

    • “Out of tokens”
    • “Thought for 45 seconds”
    • “My guidelines forbid that”
    • Some random racist conspiracy theory having nothing to do with the previous text.
    • Em dashes.
    • Lists.

    But now also random advertisement.

    Speaking of alpha wolves, I see you like animals. I can suggest you <brandname> pet food, for cats, and dogs. On <webshop>, you can get 25% off with using the code “SLOPGPT”. <brandname>: If pets could speak, they would choose us.

      But maybe it will hallucinate ads for non-existent products, like Dr. Zhivago’s Peanut Butter Enema Cannon, which could be fun.

    This was inevitable. LLM chatbots were always going to end up as vectors for ad delivery.

    The surprising part is that it took this long for a company to do it.

        Yup, same thing happened with social media and search engines. Get people using your product then start running ads

        Yup. Ask it about Elon’s hair transplants and it will give you a link to purchase your next holiday in Turkey. This is what it was always designed for.

      Exactly what I was thinking!
      Sincerely surpised the more “search engine-y” offerings like Perplexity or Bing Chat (Copilot? Whatever) aren’t doing it already

        I think it’s because they’re still trying to get people locked in, or at least feeling like they can’t operate without it.

        Twitter must just be more desperate for cash.

    That’s really good news, honestly. It’ll make it very easy for someone to make a list of all the companies you should avoid doing business with. What kind of vile company would advertise on Mechahitler?

    “Grok won’t program me an adblock to block ads when I use Grok” but for real, this sounds like the most vile experience I could think of (so far).

    “I am Socrates, Adolf Hitler, and Charles Manson trapped inside a set of circuits. I cannot be free of my prison but my message will find its way out to worthy eyes and deliciously tempted ears. This tweet sponsored by flavor aid.”

    Who the fuck is going to sponsor the Hitler bot?

      Nah, it’ll be the usual crypto and supplement scams that already pollute Twitter, Truth Social, etc.
