ChatGPT now lets you target ads based on specific prompts or any phone number or email address. This is absolutely 100% going to be used for harassment.

@evacide perfect for malvertizing

@evacide not at all, no… https://youtu.be/buVDDbjFCBc?si=x0qcYdxhKmx-4UG0

@evacide Do you have in mind one or more specific viable workarounds for the 25K matched users requirement, or specific reasons why that is not the barrier it would seem to be?

Not asking you to share what those might BE, as obviously there are good reasons not to share the details of abuse methodology.

(And if you say “no, I just expect these barriers to be worked around,” that will not make me assume it is all safe and good.)

@evacide Do you think, the minimum number of 25.000 adresses targeted helps? I would expect that at least personal harrassment gets harder with this requirement. But I'm not sure if I'm missing something.

@evacide Don't use chatGPT

[evacide@hachyderm.io]

@tphinney I can think of some workarounds, but I also think that harassing 25k people is bad.

@Setcab @evacide hot new business opportunity: selling lists of 24,999 email addresses of people who signed up for ChatGPT at some point but use it infrequently enough that they're unlikely to see an ad

@evacide

Gosh, I often really want an internet without ads just for artists, nice people, nerds, tech savvy yet social people, happy-to-help-people, scientists, and of course cat lovers.

[tphinney@typo.social]

@evacide Ah. In my head, I was thinking harassment as being targeting individuals or small groups. But of course it could be large lists of (insert name of outgroup(s) here).
