Fuck. Copilot is going to add ads to everything.
Videos, links, random paragraphs. Everything written by a llm will feature 3rd party ads. Taking a page from malware developers, there will be innocuous libraries added that will later morph.
Eventually, we will stop writing software as llms will be all software. Serving ads. Serving you to advertisers.
