"The chatbot owner said that in the next few weeks, it will begin "testing ads" for the free and low-cost subscription "Go" versions of ChatGPT in the United States for logged-in, adult users. Users can expect ads "at the bottom of answers in ChatGPT when there's a relevant sponsored product or service based on your current conversation." OpenAI said ads will be "clearly labeled" and won't be included under "sensitive or regulated topics," including "health, mental health or politics.""
"According to OpenAI, advertising will 'not influence' the answers the chatbot provides to user questions. 'Ads are always separate and clearly labeled,' it said. Likewise, advertisers won't have access to conversations within ChatGPT, and OpenAI will 'never sell your data to advertisers.' Plus, it said that at any time, users can 'turn off personalization' and clear data used for advertising."
OpenAI will begin testing ads in free and low-cost ChatGPT Go accounts for logged-in adult users in the United States, while Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise subscriptions will remain ad-free. Ads will appear at the bottom of answers when a sponsored product or service is relevant to the current conversation and will be clearly labeled. Advertising will be excluded from sensitive or regulated topics such as health, mental health, and politics, and OpenAI says ads will not influence chatbot answers. Advertisers will not access conversation content, personal data will not be sold to advertisers, and users can turn off personalization and clear ad data. ChatGPT Go will be available everywhere for $8 per month in the U.S.
