OpenAI tests visual ads in ChatGPT image generation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [20 sources] ·

OpenAI is testing a new visual advertising format within ChatGPT, which will initially appear to US users when they generate images. These ads will be clearly labeled and separate from the AI-generated images, with OpenAI stating they will not influence ChatGPT's responses. The company previously introduced text-based ads earlier this year. Subscribers to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Enterprise plans will not see these advertisements. AI

IMPACT This move could impact user experience and potentially generate new revenue streams for OpenAI, while also raising questions about the integration of advertising within AI interfaces.
