"All day, I see ads. Ads when I scroll social feeds, ads when I search Google, and ads on every website I go to. You're looking at some ads on this website right now (hopefully they aren't too annoying). I've lived to tell the tale - and so have you. OpenAI announced on Friday that it will start testing ads in ChatGPT for US users on its free and Go tiers, something that had been rumored for a while."
"Problem 1: Ads can be annoying! I agree! But as previously mentioned, we are all used to seeing ads everywhere at all times. It's just the constant buzz of white noise in every online experience. But, eh: Since OpenAI is first testing this as a freemium model, sure, you can get rid of the ads if you pay. We're already dealing with that in a ton of other services like Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, and YouTube. I pay for all of those because I've decided the ads are annoying enough to pay extra to skip."
OpenAI will start testing ads in ChatGPT for US users on its free and Go tiers. Advertising will appear on those tiers while paid subscriptions can remove ads. Ads are ubiquitous across online services and many users accept them as background noise or choose paid ad-free tiers for a cleaner experience. Advertising raises trust concerns about whether recommendations are unbiased when sponsored content mixes with organic answers. Users are accustomed to platforms mixing ads and organic results, and advertisers' brand-safety preferences could discourage generation of harmful outputs such as AI-generated nude images.
