AI companies are gearing up to follow the social media model of monetizing their platforms through advertising. The danger for consumers with AI goes beyond data privacy to covert manipulation.
I’m already semi-convinced that they are already getting paid to have the AI push certain products or recommendations without any good logic as to why. It may not be intentional though, considering that it is trained on social media brainrot where humans do the same.

It’s not intentional from the AI companies, but active effort from the brands. It’s GEO, the AI equivalent to SEO.
I won’t get into the specifics, but its not that hard to influence the AI towards your brand.
Now that they’ll start selling ads though, I wonder how things will play out.
