OpenAI Launches Ads In ChatGPT Australia

OpenAI will roll out advertising in ChatGPT for Australian users in the coming weeks, expanding a US pilot, the company said. Ads will appear only to logged-in adult users on the free and 'go' tiers, with Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise accounts exempt; OpenAI says conversations remain private and users can upgrade to avoid ads. Local usage more than doubled in Australia over the past 12 months.
