    Literally that Black Mirror episode, where the woman has a brain implant to cure a brain trauma, and they put ads in her speech because she is on the free subscription tier.

      Not to defend adding ads to chatgpt, but it’s quite different from an implant that turns people into walking ads.

      Also, they weren’t on the free tier, their subscription was already stretching their finances and then they added ads and a new even more expensive tier to avoid the ads.

        Yes, it was the base tier in the episode (not free). You’ll forgive me, it’s been a some time since I watched it.

        It’s not a 1:1 comparison, but you’ll admit that the resemblance is uncanny.
