AI正在重塑人机交互范式——用户从搜索关键词转向直接向聊天框提问。据Gartner预测，到2026年，25%的在线搜索将通 过AI聊天机器人完成。面对资本市场的回报压力，AI厂商亟需证明其商业价值，广告成为最直接的变现路径。 2026年1月，谷歌和OpenAI相继宣布，将在其人工智能工具中推送广告，并在一定范围内开始试水。Meta早在2025年10月 已经公开表示，用户与Meta AI的互动将很快被用来投放个性化广告，并据此修改了隐私协议。 然而，广告的性质却与AI的形象和承诺具有结构性冲突。一个被认为可以超越人类偏见、高效获取信息的"超级大脑"，突 然预装了"推销员"指令，客户将感受到某种不适，甚至是"背叛"。这就像你本来想跟一位专家请教知识，甚至期待一次顿 悟时刻，结果却被套路，买了一款专家能从中抽成的产品。现代人并不惧怕形形色色的营销和广告，但在"求知"中被推 销，却可能严重侵蚀用户对AI刚刚建立起的信任。 更重要的是，广告是否和如何植入AI，将成为各路厂商历史性选择的一个岔路口——AI产品的本质和终极价值是什么？将 广告信息融入大模型之中，究竟是系统性升级还是降级？它对人类生活是有益还是毒害？ 一、谷 ...
