I keep waiting for LLM chats to "steer" to a specific vendor's solution (in exchange for that vendor's substantial fee of course) -- so when I ask "is my UPS repairable?" i might get tips to fix, replace the battery (with $VENDOR's chinesium nonsense perhaps), or straight lied to and told the UPS is now e-waste, but consider $VENDOR's sale on UPS's right now over at this link. Perhaps an affiliate link? who knows!

I pay for LLMs so I hope they don't leak that crassness into paying clientele -- but... how would I know if they did it subtly? I wouldn't! :/

An app that can run queries on all LLM’s at the same time and then figure out which answer is less like an advert might be the solution lol.

A bit like ad block plus.

Or using open source models.
