“Maybe it’s more important to influence the agent than even the human, because with a human you influence one person,” Mobian cofounder and CEO Jonah Goodhart told Digiday. “When you influence ChatGPT, you’re influencing potentially all of ChatGPT. If ChatGPT changes what it says about [a brand], it’s massive and it’s more than any one campaign could ever do.”

If I was this dumb I surely would be smart enough to keep my mouth shut.

can't wait for the llm crowd to "reinvent" pagerank for model context, and get into "ad fraud detection"

    You have to ask "if Google could never beat SEO for long, can these clowns and cultists decide which sites should not be used to train their precious Computer God? If surveillance advertising got respected old institutions hawking product reviews and mattresses on a branch of their website (Google says we are a Trusted Site not that we are trusted for a specific topic), how will sites the bots like avoid being corrupted too?"
