OpenAI's head of ChatGPT says posts appearing to show in-app ads are 'not real or not ads'
"However, the company's chief research officer, Mark Chen, also replied on X that they "fell short" in this case, adding that "anything that feels like an ad needs to be handled with care." "We've turned off this kind of suggestion while we improve the model's precision," Chen wrote on X. "We're also looking at better controls so you can dial this down or off if you don't find it helpful.""
"There's still a lot of uncertainty about whether OpenAI will introduce ads to ChatGPT, but in November, someone discovered code in a beta version of the ChatGPT app on Android that made several mentions of ads. Even in Turley's post debunking the inclusion of live ads, the OpenAI exec added that "if we do pursue ads, we'll take a thoughtful approach." Turley also posted that "people trust ChatGPT and anything we do will be designed to respect that.""
Nick Turley stated there are no live tests for ads in ChatGPT and that screenshots circulating are either fake or not ads. Daniel McAuley framed the instance as an app integration feature announced in October. Mark Chen acknowledged falling short and warned that anything resembling an ad must be handled with care. Chen said suggestions of that kind were turned off while model precision is improved, and that controls will let users dial such suggestions down or off. Code referencing ads was found in a beta Android app, and Turley said any pursuit of ads would be thoughtful and designed to respect user trust.
