OpenAI is sticking more ads in ChatGPT

OpenAI is introducing a new visual ad format in ChatGPT that displays sponsored product images. These ads will appear during image generation tasks but will not influence the AI's actual responses.
Why it matters
This marks a significant evolution in OpenAI's monetization strategy as it seeks to generate revenue from its free-tier user base.
OpenAI’s latest ad format will put images of sponsored products and services on your screen. The ads, which OpenAI will begin testing in the US later this month, will “initially” appear when you generate images with ChatGPT, according to an announcement on Monday.
