"OpenAI will begin testing advertising on its free and $8 per month Go tier in the U.S. in the coming weeks. How it works: ChatGPT's responses won't be influenced by advertisers, OpenAI says. But ads will be influenced by conversations. Personalization will be on by default, with an opt-out. Ads will be separated from chats and labeled "Sponsored." OpenAI says conversations will be kept private and data will not be sold to advertisers."
"Follow the money: OpenAI told investors in September that it could burn up to $115 billion in cash by 2030, per The Information. The company plans to spend at least $1.4 trillion on data centers and other tech infrastructure - but hadn't previously revealed how it plans to make money. Last year, OpenAI hired Instacart CEO Fidji Simo as CEO of applications, who was tasked with hiring someone to oversee monetization efforts."
OpenAI will begin testing advertising on its free and $8-per-month ChatGPT Go tier in the U.S., with personalization enabled by default and an opt-out. ChatGPT responses will not be influenced by advertisers, but ads will be influenced by conversations and displayed separately with "Sponsored" labels. OpenAI states that conversations will be kept private and that data will not be sold to advertisers. The move comes amid large projected infrastructure and cash burn estimates and recent hires focused on monetization. Advertising raises concerns about incentive conflicts and the protection of sensitive personal and emotional information shared with chatbots.
