"The ads will begin appearing in the coming weeks at the bottom of ChatGPT's responses and will be clearly labeled, the company said. They will be shown only to adult users on the free tier and on a newly introduced low-cost "Go" plan, priced at $8 a month. Paid subscriptions - including Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise - will remain ad-free."
""Responses in ChatGPT will not be influenced by ads," the company said, adding that ads would always be separate and clearly labeled. It also said it would not sell user data to advertisers and that conversations would remain private. Users under 18 will not see ads, and advertising will be excluded from sensitive topics such as politics and health."
"The move comes as OpenAI faces mounting costs tied to its rapid growth. The company has struck more than $1.4 trillion in infrastructure deals and reported it was on track to reach a $20 billion annualized revenue run rate last year. Advertising, long a core business for companies like Google and Meta, could help offset those expenses."
