OpenAI announced that ads will be added to ChatGPT. The introduction of ads represents an important monetization step for the product. The delay in rolling out ads increases the associated risk. The delay has resulted in ads that are not yet well suited to the service or its users. The misalignment implies a need for different ad formats, targeting, or integration to preserve user experience while achieving monetization goals. Careful execution, testing, and alignment with user expectations will be required to balance revenue and product value.
