I’m assuming they have much more control during training and at runtime than us with our prompts. They’ll bake in whatever the person with the checkbook says to.

if they want dynamic pricing like adwords then its going to be a little challenging. While I appreciate its probably viable and they employ very clever people there's nothing like doing two things that are basically diametrically opposed at the same time. The LLM wants to give you what _should_ be the answer, but the winner of the ad word wants something else. There's a conflict there that I'd imagine might be quite challenging to debug.

Generate an Answer, get the winning Ad from an API, let another AI rewrite the Answer in a easy that the Answer at least be not contradicting to the Ad.

I think someone should create a leaderboard that measures how much the AI is lying to us to sell more ads.

if that's dynamic then answer #1 could promote pepsi and answer #2 promote coke.

The first one might be grounded on what reddit was saying about which cola is best and what the general sentiment is etc. Then the second one either emphasizes the fact that reddit favoured cola x or not depending on where the money is coming from.

We do this when using LLM in our apps too in much less sinister ways. One LLM generates an answer and another applies guardrails against certain situations the company considers desirable.
