In addition to announcing the global launch of ChatGPT Go, OpenAI said it plans to begin testing ads in the US to logged-in adults on ChatGPT’s free and Go tiers in the coming weeks. ChatGPIT’s Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans will remain ad-free.
OpenAI says responses in ChatGPTT will not be affected by ads, which will always be separate from organic replies and clearly labeled. Additionally, your conversations with ChatGPT will remain private to advertisers.
Here’s what OpenAI says about ads in ChatGPT
OpenAI plans to start testing AI chatbots by displaying ads below their replies when there is a relevant sponsored product or service based on your conversation with the AI chatbot. The image below shared by OpenAI shows what the first ad format might look like during testing.
ChatGPT users can also view an ad and directly ask the questions necessary to make a purchasing decision.
“We’ll learn from feedback and refine the way ads appear over time, but our commitment to putting users first and maintaining trust won’t change. By building our ad platform from the ground up with these principles, we can tailor our incentives to what people want from ChatGPT,OpenAI said in a blog post.
“Our long-term focus remains on building products that millions of people and businesses consider valuable enough to pay for. Our enterprise and subscription businesses are already strong, and we believe in having a diversified revenue model where advertising can play a role in making intelligence more accessible to everyone.OpenAI further said.
