Providing users of it information doesn’t really help them profit. Their goal is to make the main focus of ChatGPT advertising. For example, if you ask ChatGPT for advice, it’ll give you advice in the form of an advertisement (eg “you should go buy this thing!”).

The information doesn’t need to be accurate. It just needs to make them money. Also, the “bias” of their system is for sale, so, governments will want to dump a lot of money into investing in ChatGPT propaganda that can be output, or, for paying for censorship on the platform.

For example, ChatGPT can tell people that the 2020 election was stolen if they are paid enough money to do so.
