Good insights, and not just software developers, really. We don’t like ads, sensationalism, or anything reeking of bullshit. If we have to talk to someone to find out the price, the product may as well not exist.

    Everyone arguing with this account needs to realize that they might as well be talking to an LLM. Look at how advertisers think:

    Just like an LLM can’t distinguish between truth and fiction they can’t distinguish between meaningful information and advertising BS. The people here will never win their argument against it because it classifies all human communication as an act of manipulation, so the definition of advertising will be made more and more broad until it says “look, you were swayed”.

      Excuse me but “it” is not my preferred pronoun. That’s pretty disrespectful.

        I was trying to resolve the ambiguity between “this account” (which is indeed an object) and “the people here”.

        I try not to misgender, so I have edited it to “they”. Not because I respect anything an advertiser says though.
