But presumably your requests and ChatGPT’s responses will guide what ads users see. Whilst conversations might be private from advertisers - the products that are suitable for the user would be shared.
If a user asks ChatGPT “what oil should I put in my Honda civic”. ChatGPT can search for suitable products but the page will also be showing ads for motor oil - presumably Honda civic motor oil.

Enshittification seems to be accelerating. Humanity will reach an advertising singularity long before a technological singularity.

  Come on man, putting ads is not enshittification. Haven't you used the Internets 20 years ago? It was a decent way to live for the webmaster in those good old times when most of the traffic was from humans.
