text of advertToday we are launching my favorite feature of ChatGPT so far, called Pulse. It is initially available to Pro subscribers.

Pulse works for you overnight, and keeps thinking about your interests, your connected data, your recent chats, and more. Every morning, you get a custom-generated set of stuff you might be interested in.

It performs super well if you tell ChatGPT more about what's important to you. In regular chat, you could mention “I’d like to go visit Bora Bora someday” or “My kid is 6 months old and I’m interested in developmental milestones” and in the future you might get useful updates.

Think of treating ChatGPT like a super-competent personal assistant: sometimes you ask for things you need in the moment, but if you share general preferences, it will do a good job for you proactively.

This also points to what I believe is the future of ChatGPT: a shift from being all reactive to being significantly proactive, and extremely personalized.

Hmmm, that does make me think, are the rubes in the AI grift equation the people using ChatGPT and the like? Or is it the advertisers that have been duped into thinking the advertising data trawled from those users’ logs is somehow extra valuable because of AI smoke and mirrors?

if people manage to torch marriages over gpt advice, i would think adverts would be somewhat successful in inducing demand (do i think it will work as in expand demand? no. could it possibly torch google revenue? probably, tbh, depends on mobile treatlerites behavior (would they default to pre-installed gemini bot/ai girlfriend on facebook/twitter or gpt output in an app)
