Ads in AI should be banned right now. We need to learn from mistakes of the internet (crypto, facebook) and aggressively regulate early and often before this gets too institutionalized to remove.

They did learn. That's why they are adding ads.

Boomers in government would be clueless on how to properly regulate and create correct incentives. Hell, that is still a bold ask for tech and economist geniuses with the best of intentions.

Would that be the same cohort of boomers jamming LLMs up our collective asses? So they don’t understand how to regulate a technology they don’t understand, but fucking by golly you’re going to be left behind if you don’t use it?

This is like a shitty Disney movie.

Ads (at least in the classical pre-AI sense) are by orders of magnitude better than preventive laws

I'm not sure how anyone could reasonably argue that Alaska would be orders of magnitude better off if they reversed the implementation of their billboard-banning ballot measure and put up billboards everywhere.

I trust corporations far far far less than government or lawmakers (who I also don’t trust). I know corporations will use ads in the most manipulative and destructive manner. Laws may be flawed but are worth the risk.
