Why does ChatGPT need to know that? That should be illegal.
Safari and Firefox should isolate the cookie by default.
> Something like it is basically a requirement if you want to see digital ads.
So to summarize, yes, it should be illegal.
That's what firefox's total cookie protection (enabled by default) does.
It is not a requirement and no one wants to see ads.
Doesn't mean you won't be tracked by about 15 other means.
Remember they once predicted it would be 50% of their income.
This is the only way they get there.
Nobody is going to pay for ChatGPT. They'll just use the ad-infested version, like they do everything else online. Well some people will pay, but not enough to justify the insane amounts of money being poured into it by investors.
It's still an advertisement, and the underlying marketplace is similar (pay for access to change behavior).
The best uses of AI will be surveillance, propaganda, cyberterrorism, and automated military tech.

I think it is more insidious than that. AI shapes how people think not just what they think.
