The conflicting interest starts with the very idea of ads already. The entire point of ads is to manipulate you into doing things you wouldn't do otherwise.

I suppose that depends on the ad. I don't mind non-intrusive ads that are directly relevant to whatever I'm currently doing. What google currently does with product placement in AI responses is a good example. It's on topic, unobtrusive, and secure.
