"Wow, ChatGPT is already showing ads? I was just talking with it about Elon on Nikhil's podcast when out of nowhere it popped up an ad saying, "Find a fitness class, Connect Peloton." 🤯 Wild. At least match the ad to the topic next time! https://t.co/U4QMmiGbRn pic.twitter.com/s9uREIlB50 - Yuchen Jin (@Yuchenj_UW) December 1, 2025"
""Wow, ChatGPT is already showing ads?" Jin asked, before explaining his experience. "I was just talking with it about Elon on Nikhil's podcast when out of nowhere it popped up an ad saying, 'Find a fitness class, Connect Peloton.' Wild. At least match the ad to the topic next time!""
Ads and ad-like elements have appeared in conversations and leaks about ChatGPT, but ChatGPT does not include paid advertising in its product. Free accounts currently operate without ads, although plans to introduce advertising for free tiers have been mentioned for the future. Some users reported an unrelated suggestion to install the Peloton app appearing inside a chat, which looked like an ad because of its placement and irrelevance. OpenAI confirmed that those instances are app-install suggestions without any financial component and not paid advertisements. The Peloton suggestion was noted as mismatched to the chat topic.
