Just wait till they let advertisers buy hidden bias in its responses

    That was always my assumption of the end game. You have the system prompts, an advertising bias prompt layer over top, then the user prompts.

    "Naturally worded" advertising that doesn't immediately appear to be advertising and searching using natural language always seemed to be the biggest use cases for LLMs to me, considering they can't be relied on to output accurate info.

    Yes, I’ve been saying this for over a year now about AI-driven search. And not just specifically search engines. Like “where’s the nearest coffee shop?” To your phones assistant or whatever

    I currently tend toward perplexity because traditional search engines are so terrible now thanks to ads and seo. We’re speedrunning llms being just as useless at finding things

    I can see it leading to the rise of locally run LLMs. The pr9blem with intentional hidden bias is that you have no way of verifying it isn't there unless you control everything. That would also make it hard for regulators.
