OpenAI Adds Ads to ChatGPT With Safeguards

OpenAI confirmed it will begin showing ads in ChatGPT for free users and the new ChatGPT Go tier in the coming weeks, while assuring that ads will not influence the AI's generated content. The company says ads will be visually separated and identified, will be absent from premium tiers, and users can control or delete personalization data; sensitive-topic conversations will remain ad-free.
