A new turn in the world of AI chatbots: OpenAI makes a big decision, testing of ads to begin soon in ChatGPT..

ChatGPT, which has so far been free of advertisements, is about to undergo a major change. OpenAI has confirmed that it will begin testing ads on ChatGPT in the coming weeks. This will be the first time that ads will appear on this AI chatbot. Initially, this test will only be for users in the United States, and if everything goes well, it may be rolled out to other countries later.

According to OpenAI, ads will currently only be displayed on the Free and Go plans of ChatGPT. Paid plans such as Plus, Pro, Enterprise, and Business will remain completely ad-free. This means that users who subscribe will not experience any change in their experience.

Clearly Labeled Ads
The company has also clarified that the ads will not affect ChatGPT's responses. The AI's responses will be completely independent and will not be influenced by any advertising company. The ads will appear separately from the chat responses and will be clearly labeled with "Ad" or "Sponsored" so that users can easily distinguish them.

OpenAI has also provided assurances regarding data privacy. The company says that user chats or conversations will not be shared with advertisers. Only limited and non-conversational data may be used for advertising purposes. In addition, users will have the control to turn off personalized ads and clear data related to ad targeting.

Not Becoming Social Media
OpenAI has also stated that it does not want to turn ChatGPT into a social media platform. This means that responses will not be altered to keep users engaged with the app for longer periods. The focus will always remain on providing accurate and useful answers to questions.

Regarding the format of the ads, OpenAI says that they will be informative and seamlessly integrated into the user experience. In some cases, users will be able to explore a product or service within ChatGPT itself after clicking on an ad, without being redirected to an external website. Since this is currently in the testing phase, the number of ads, their format, and which users will see them are all subject to change in the future.
