We share your concern that LLMs could be prompted to generate responses that are biased in favor of certain products. That is why we are currently organizing a shared task on detecting advertisements in the responses of RAG-based search engines: bsky.app/profile/webi...

Can LLM-generated ads be blocked? With OpenAI adding shopping options to ChatGPT, this question gains further importance.
If you are interested in contributing to the research on LLM-based advertising, please check out our shared task: touche.webis.de/clef25/touch...
