Subject: Re: Product Placement in AI
I often use ChatGPT when shopping since it gives several different alternatives along with prices and links to vendors.

This is helpful.

Then I check with Google Gemini (which isn't as specific), Consumer Reports (from the library) and the in-depth consumer reviews on Amazon.com and Home Depot. This often leads me to buy a similar item from a different manufacturer.

I think it's obvious that ChatGPT is presenting ads. That doesn't make it useless.
