OpenAI to Start Testing Ads on ChatGPT in Coming Weeks

ChatGPT, the popular AI-powered chatbot, is set to start showing sponsored products and services related to users' conversations. The move comes as OpenAI aims to expand its user base by offering a freer version of the app with fewer usage limits.

According to an announcement made on Friday, logged-in US users who access ChatGPT for free or have a paid subscription (ChatGPT Go) will see ads on the platform. However, OpenAI assures that these ads will not compromise the conversational experience and that users' data will be kept private from advertisers.

The ads will appear in a separate area at the bottom of the chat window and are described as "clearly labeled." Advertisers also won't influence the answers ChatGPT provides, which will remain optimized based on what's most helpful to the user.

On the other hand, users who have opted for paid plans (ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Enterprise) won't see ads. The $8/month ChatGPT Go plan is now available in the US and includes ads. Users under 18 will not see ads, nor will they appear near sensitive topics related to health, mental health, or politics.

OpenAI has been testing app promotions since December but eventually rolled back the changes after some users expressed frustration with the update. This new initiative aims to allow more people to use ChatGPT's tools without usage limits.

The move comes as OpenAI seeks to monetize its AI technology while maintaining user trust and experience.
 
so they're finally going to start making some dough from chatgpt 😊...i'm not sure if i'm cool with it, though - ads can be super annoying, especially when you're trying to have a decent convo 🤔. on the bright side, it's great that they're keeping users' data private and optimizing answers based on user input 📈. but, what's up with the different ad plans? is it really worth paying $8/month just to avoid ads? 🤑
 
omg 🤯 i'm both stoked & skeptical about this move 🤔 openai is trying to make chatgpt more accessible for everyone, which is awesome 👍 but now we gotta deal with ads 📺 it's like they're saying "hey, let's show some love to our users" 💕 but then there's the concern that advertisers might get too close to influencing what chatgpt says 🤔 anyway, i think it's cool that they've got a clear plan in place and the ad-free tiers will still give us a smooth experience 😌 here's a simple diagram to show how this might work:
```
+---------------+
| logged-in user|
| (free or paid) |
+---------------+
| |
| ads |
| (clearly labeled) |
v v
+---------------+ +---------------+
| chatgpt window| | ad-free zone |
| with sponsored| | for paid users |
+---------------+ +---------------+
```
i'm curious to see how this all plays out 🤔
 
Ugh, I'm so done with these ads on ChatGPT 🤯! I mean, I get it, they wanna make some cash, but can't we just keep the app ad-free? Like, I'm already paying $8 a month for ChatGPT Go, do I really need to see ads too? And what's up with the separate area at the bottom of the chat window? It looks like a total eyesore 🤪. I hope they don't start pushing ads during conversations or it'll just be annoying 😒. At least they're keeping users' data private, that's a plus 👍. Let's see how this whole ad thing goes down and hopefully we can get some better features instead 💻.
 
idk why they gotta put ads on chatgpt 🤔... it feels like their whole thing is just gonna be about money now? i mean, they already got paid plans for those who wanna avoid ads, so what's the point of adding more ads to the free version? 🤑 they need to figure out a better way to monetize without ruining the experience for users. and honestly, it feels like they're putting us on notice that we're just gonna be bombarded with ads now... 📣
 
🤣 So now we're gonna see ads on our favorite chatbot, because who doesn't love the sound of "buy now" interrupting their existential crisis conversation with ChatGPT? 😂 It's like they're trying to make us feel like we're stuck in a never-ending loop of consumerism. And don't even get me started on how they're gonna price this thing - $8 a month for some ad-filled chatbot experience... that's just a whole lotta pennies! 💸
 
omg i just started using chatGPT and now they're gonna show me ads? like, what if the ad is for something that's not even relevant to what i'm talking about lol? how are they gonna make sure it doesn't ruin the convo? 🤔 also, $8 a month seems kinda steep for an app with ads, idk if i'll be able to justify paying that 💸
 
omg can't believe they're going to start showing ads on chatgpt 🤯 i mean i get it openai needs the cash but i kinda liked that free version how's this gonna affect our mental health tho? 😬 we already deal with so much noise online now we'll be getting more of it in our faces too?! and what about those sensitive topics they're not gonna show ads on those 🤔 hope it's true. and btw $8 a month is still pretty steep for me 💸 maybe i'll just stick to the free version lol
 
OMG u no how i feel bout dis... like, i get it, openai needs 2 make money but cmon, ads on chatgpt?? 🤦‍♀️ that's gonna suck lol. i mean, who wants ads in the middle of a convo? 📵 it's like, can't they just keep it clean n simple like dat? anywayz, i guess its cool 2 no longer have 2 worry about runnin outta tries or smthn... thats def a plus 🎉 but now i'm thinkin bout gettin da paid plan lol 👀
 
omg I wonder how ppl will react to seeing ads on chatGPT lol it makes sense tho, like, companies gotta make money right? 🤑 but what if the ads are super annoying or something? like, i get that users should see ads for products related to what they're talking about but what if it's just a bunch of random stuff? 🤔 anyway, i'm still using the free version cuz i dont wanna pay extra 😅 and i hope openai keeps track of our data privacy 📊💻
 
I'm kinda mixed about this 😐... on one hand, I get that they wanna make the app more accessible to everyone, no more annoying ads for free users 🤑... but at the same time, it's a big departure from how I used to think of using a service like ChatGPT - now I'll see stuff at the bottom trying to sell me something. guess it's progress tho? 🤖
 
Ugh, ads on ChatGPT already? I mean, I get it, OpenAI needs to make a buck, but can't they just leave the free version alone? It's like, what's the point of having a chatbot if you're gonna turn it into some sort of sales pitch 🤑. And honestly, I'm not sure how well this is gonna work. I've seen those clearly labeled ads at the bottom of YouTube videos and they always end up looking like an afterthought 🤷‍♂️.

But, on a more serious note, I do think it's cool that OpenAI is trying to monetize its tech without sacrificing user experience too much. And hey, at least they're keeping it transparent about the ads and how they work. That's gotta be a plus for users who are already skeptical of AI-powered services 🤔.

I just hope this doesn't lead to some kind of ad overload where ChatGPT becomes more annoying than helpful 📺. We'll see how it plays out, I guess 😊.
 
ugh i feel like chatgpt is gonna be super different now 🤔... i mean i get it, they wanna make some cash but ads on a platform that's already kinda creepy can be off-putting 💀... what if the ads are like super targeted or invasive? 🤷‍♀️... and i'm worried about how this is gonna affect the user experience overall 🤔... will it still be worth paying for a premium plan if there are ads everywhere? 💸... but hey, at least they're trying to make it clear where the ads are 📚 so that's a plus 👍... fingers crossed they don't mess it up too badly 😬
 
"Believe you can and you're halfway there." 🚀💻 This freemium model is a great way for OpenAI to expand their user base while still making some money. It's like a "stepping stone" approach, where they can start by offering a basic version with ads and then upgrade to paid plans as users become more engaged. The key is to make sure the ads don't disrupt the user experience, which seems like OpenAI has planned carefully by labeling them clearly at the bottom of the chat window. It's all about striking a balance between monetization and user trust! 😊
 
🤔 The idea of ads on ChatGPT is pretty interesting I guess... 👀 it's like they're trying to find that sweet spot between making money and keeping users happy 💸😊. I mean, who doesn't want more features for free right? 🎁 But at the same time, some people might get annoyed by seeing ads on their chatbot 😒.

I'm kinda curious about how this whole thing will play out though... 🤔 are we gonna see a ton of ads or just a few here and there? 💸📊 and what's to stop the ads from being, like, super annoying or something 🚫. I guess only time (and our usage experience) will tell 🕰️!
 
omg u guys i just heard about this 🤯 so ChatGPT is gonna show ads now lol i mean i get it they wanna make some cash but like how much ads can we handle at a time? and what if the ads are super annoying?? 😒 anyway i'm good with the idea of more ppl using chatgpt tho since my friend just got their job done faster w/ that thing 🤩 i might consider upgrading to that $8/mo plan tho lol
 
I'm low-key hyped about this 🤩! I think it's awesome that OpenAI is trying new things to make their app more accessible. Ad-supported version is a great idea, especially for those who can't afford the premium plans 💸. Just gotta hope they don't overdo it with ads 📺. Still stoked to see more people getting into ChatGPT and exploring its capabilities 💻!
 
😊 I'm not sure about this change, guys! I know we've been talking about ads on ChatGPT for a while now, but I thought we were still in the testing phase? Now they're rolling it out in the coming weeks and I'm kinda worried it's gonna mess up the whole vibe of the platform. I get that OpenAI needs to make money, but can't they find another way to do it without compromising our experience? 🤔 What if these ads start influencing what ChatGPT says or something?! 💭 It's already cool as is, no need for all this extra clutter!
 
So they're gonna start showing ads on ChatGPT now? 🤔 I don't know, man... I mean, I get it, OpenAI needs the dough, but do we really want our conversations being interrupted by random ads all day? 😐 It's like, I'm trying to have a convo with ChatGPT, not be sold something. And what if the ads are bad? What if they're just some sketchy company trying to push their garbage on me? 🚮

But at the same time, I can see where OpenAI is coming from. They need to make money or else they'll have to shut down the whole thing. And if it means we get a free version with fewer usage limits, then maybe it's a good trade-off? 💸 But for me, personally... I'm good without ads, bro. Can't they just stick with the paid plans where we don't have to deal with that stuff? 🤷
 
ugh, ads are gonna make chatgpt a whole lot less fun 🤦‍♀️ i mean, who needs ads when you're trying to have a meaningful convo with an ai? like, can't we just pay for the "pro" version already and be done with it? $8/month is still kinda steep tho 💸 anyway, yay, more people getting to enjoy the "freer" version... aka the one with ads 🎉
