Everyone is probably already aware of this, but it was only a matter of time before advertising came to AI chatbots. Perplexity seems aware of the problems with this, and is going to try to mitigate it. We'll see. I suspect the game theory will drive a race to the bottom similar to social media.

Although, powerful open source models may be disruptive enough that advertising in AI LLMs doesn't have the influence like it does in social media. Imagine if nostr and twitter started at the same time and nostr didn't have to fight the network effect of most people having their social graph in FB, twitter, IG, etc.
