ChatGPT is Probably Gonna Have Ads Soon:
- BleepingComputer Article: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/artificial-intelligence/leak-confirms-openai-is-preparing-ads-on-chatgpt-for-public-roll-out/
- Tibor Blaho on X spotted it first: https://x.com/btibor91/status/1994714152636690834
- Some context from The Information about OAI’s ex-Meta staff and how they’re shaping the future of OAI: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-readies-facebook-era
- On YouTube: Elijah Lemard simulates what it might be like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q--ngeD2zpc
The result of mucking with AI…:
- Grok thinks Elon is just great: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/11/20/elon-musk-grok/

Is Gemini Training on Your Email Inbox?:
- Frustratingly, the answer is not clear.
- Google says “not without your permission” but doesn’t make clear where permission is granted: https://workspace.google.com/blog/identity-and-security/protecting-your-data-era-generative-ai
- Also, this only applies to “Workspace” which AFAIK is the paid plan.
- Other Google source: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/15604322#zippy=%2Cwhat-are-googles-legal-bases-of-processing-for-users-in-the-european-economic-area-united-kingdom-or-switzerland%2Chow-long-is-your-workspace-content-activity-used-to-provide-smart-features-and-to-improve-these-features
AI is Still Broken in Interesting Ways:

- Ethan Mollick’s Blog Post: https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/three-years-from-gpt-3-to-gemini
AI-Edited Images and Videos Can Implant False Memories and Distort Recollection:
- AI-edited images and especially AI-generated videos can cause people to confidently remember events that never happened.
- Paper: https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/162835/3706598.3713697.pdf
- Participants were first shown original images, then after a delay they were shown a stimulus corresponding to their assigned condition, and later memory tests were applied to check recall and confidence.
- Across 200 participants: AI-generated videos made from AI-edited images created 2.05× more false memories.
- They were also more confident in those false memories (1.19× increase)
