    The chatbots seem to have replaced Facebook as the preferred way to manipulate peoples opinions.

    I have to wonder if Pepsi paid the chatbot to push it’s product.

    Edit: Yup. Companies are paying to be mentioned in chats. It’s called GEO.

          Pretty sure paygrades already exist for moderation. But currently OpenAI is a “non-profit” or something like that. (sponsors)

          Sorry a public benefit for whatever that means.
