Or maybe it’s trained on some SF. Any agents like ScubaGPT are always self-preserving in such stories.

ChatGPT is not sentient, it doesn’t feel, it doesn’t have thoughts. It has regurgitation and hallucinations.

ChatGPT isn’t sentient, doesn’t feel or have thoughts. It has <insert equally human behavior here>

While I agree with what you mean, I’d just like to point out that “hallucinations” is just another embellished word like the ones you critique - were AI to have real hallucinations, it would need to think and feel. Since it doesn’t, its “hallucinations” are hallucinations only to us.

The child having no money is not a problem.

Children are easily influenced and gullible.

A child will pester their parents to buy what they want, potentially for weeks.

Bombarding children with some product, even if for “grown-ups” can make them like it in the future when they’re grown up themselves. It is a very long-term strategy, but it does work since people tend to associate brands from their childhood with quality.

But I agree. Ads directed at kids always seemed distasteful to me, vut it was usually mixed in with “normal” TV or even YouTube ads. But now, when you can’t open a video on YouTube and have it play minimized because it’s “for kids”, you’d expect Google’d also make the ads at least less distasteful than on TV or “grownup” YouTube.

You forgot all the Bing Chats in between.

More like “instead of making something that gets the job done, expect pur unfinished product to complain and not do whatever it’s supposed to”. Or just plain false advertising.

Either way, not a good look and I’m glad it’s not just us lemmings who care.
