OpenAI has previously stated that it will include advertising for users of the free version of ChatGPT. Now, initial reports have emerged stating that OpenAI will begin testing advertising display on ChatGPT starting this week.
According to OpenAI's initial sharing, it is said that ads will be clearly labeled, making it easier for users to distinguish between ads and non-ads. It is also said that ads will not affect ChatGPT's response to users.
At present, it is not known what the impact of advertising participation will be on the service. ChatGPT has around 800 million users, and it is still difficult to generate profit through it. According to the target, OpenAI aims for less than half of its future income to be through advertising.
Previously, Anthropic criticized OpenAI's move through a special advertisement, and stated that their service will be ad-free. For your information, Google, which is famous for advertising, has also not included any ads on Gemini so far.
