In the article he states that he kept clicking on those ads on purpose, in order to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I would be very curious to see the algorithm adapting to that:

User: click on shrooms ad

AI: Oh he likes shrooms with his cocaine! Let’s try a marijuana to snort with his cocaine.
