"It said it had decided to explore ads "so more people can benefit from our tools with fewer usage limits". However there is also growing speculation that the AI sector has been over-valued by keen investors and hype, and has yet to actually demonstrate much in the way of profit. Some analysts predict this "bubble" is unsustainable and could soon burst."
""OpenAI is a company that's seen a huge amount of growth in terms of users in the last few years but it continues to burn investor money - it is not a profit making entity," he said. "And so, for this company to start actually turning a profit, it has to find more revenue sources from somewhere other than just standard paying subscribers. And for many software businesses, advertising is a revenue source which is reliable.""
OpenAI plans to explore ads on ChatGPT and shared example screenshots showing banner-like ads. OpenAI states ads will not influence ChatGPT responses and that conversation data will not be shared with advertisers. The stated aim is to let more people use the tools with fewer usage limits by adding revenue streams. Analysts warn the AI sector may be overvalued and lacking sustained profit, with some predicting the speculative "bubble" could burst. Henry Ajder notes OpenAI has grown rapidly in users but remains unprofitable and may need advertising as a reliable revenue source.
