Episode notes
Prepare For Ads In ChatGPT Free Tier
- Monitor ChatGPT's ad rollout because free-tier targeting will use conversation data for ad selection.
- Consider paying for the paid tier if you want no ads and reduced data harvesting.
Algorithmic Targeting Replaces Manual Targeting
- OpenAI will likely let its algorithms choose who sees ads rather than giving fine-grained self-serve targeting up front.
- Algorithmic targeting can profile users in ways a human could not, producing opaque discrimination risks.
Report Tool Limit Errors Promptly
- If you hit tool limits in the Patron Toolbox, email Thomas to resolve likely bugs or request more uses.
- Track experimental tool consumption to avoid unexpected token overages when analyzing many books.
