🤖OpenAI Adds Visual Ads to ChatGPT Image Generation
ChatGPT's Image Gen Gets Ad-Infused
TL;DR
OpenAI introduces visual ads alongside images generated by ChatGPT, targeting U.S. users later this month. Advertisers can reach 1.2 billion weekly users, but the move could push users to pay for ad-free subscriptions.
OpenAI is integrating visual ads into its ChatGPT service, specifically for images generated by user requests. These ads will appear alongside the images and are clearly labeled, ensuring they don't influence the content generated by ChatGPT. The rollout begins in the U.S. this month, with a test group of advertisers featuring products and services. OpenAI aims to attract online advertisers looking to reach ChatGPT's massive user base, estimated at 1.2 billion weekly users. However, the integration could push more casual users towards paying for a subscription to avoid ads, impacting the free and low-cost plan users.
