Ads Are Coming to ChatGPT: Here's What They Look Like and How to Avoid Them
"OpenAI is putting ads into ChatGPT in "the coming weeks," as well as bringing its ChatGPT Go subscription tier to the US starting today. The free ChatGPT and ChatGPT Go plans will have advertisements, which is the biggest news, given ChatGPT Go has already launched in 171 countries since August. For $8 per month, it offers more access to messaging, image creation, file uploads, and memory."
"The pricier plans, including ChatGPT Plus ($20) and Business and Enterprise, will not include ads. You also won't see ads if you're not logged in, which could be a way to good way to avoid them-for now. In a mockup, ChatGPT ads appear at the bottom of a chatbot's response with a "Sponsored" label. They include links to click out to other sites and purchase. This could bring many more images to a standard ChatGPT conversation, which today is mostly text, aside from AI-generated images."
The company will add advertisements to free ChatGPT and ChatGPT Go plans within weeks while launching ChatGPT Go in the US. ChatGPT Go costs $8 per month and expands messaging, image creation, file uploads, and memory. Higher-priced subscriptions including ChatGPT Plus, Business, and Enterprise will remain ad-free. Ads will appear labeled as "Sponsored," can include clickable links and images, and are intended to be useful and discovery-focused. The company states ads will not influence responses and provides toggles to turn off personalization and clear ad data; paid tiers also avoid ads.
