God I can just see a company using chatgpt to Astroterf huge amounts of data on the internet about their service to hopefully get that sludge feed back into their system and then become recommended. What a world.

Isn't that just SEO in a nutshell though? Hopefully with more advancements in LLM's we can get more bullshit detection/discrimination against SEO.

I can think of a good way to generate all that astroturf content.

And the next logical step is "chatgpt keywords advertising." Which is right back where we started.
