"In a blog post published Friday, the company said adult users in the US of its free and Go tiers (more on the latter in a moment) would start seeing sponsored products and services appear below their conversations with its chatbot. "Ads will be clearly labeled and separated from the organic answer," OpenAI said, adding any sponsored spots would not influence the answers ChatGPT generates. "Answers are optimized based on what's most helpful to you.""
"As for privacy, OpenAI states it won't share or sell your data with advertisers. The company will also give users the option to disable ad personalization and clear the data it uses to generate sponsored responses. "We'll always offer a way to not see ads in ChatGPT, including a paid tier that's ad-free," OpenAI adds. Users can dismiss ads, at which point they'll be asked to explain why they didn't engage with it."
"Given what AI can do, we're excited to develop new experiences over time that people find more helpful and relevant than any other ads. Conversational interfaces create possibilities for people to go beyond static messages and links," OpenAI said. However, the company was also quick to note its "long-term focus remains on building products that millions of people and businesses find valuable enough to pay for.""
OpenAI will begin testing labeled sponsored products and services inside ChatGPT for adult users on the free and Go tiers in the US. Ads will appear below conversations, be clearly separated from organic answers, and will not influence generated responses. Ads will be excluded from conversations about sensitive topics and will not be shown to users under 18. OpenAI will not share or sell data with advertisers and will allow users to disable ad personalization and clear related data. Users can dismiss ads and choose a paid ad-free tier; ChatGPT Go will also be made available in the US after launching in India.
