Will ChatGPT Include Ads?
OpenAI is reportedly considering introducing ads into its AI products as it explores new revenue streams. This could significantly change how users interact with AI and impact the trustworthiness of its responses. Here’s what we know so far:
• OpenAI has quietly hired top executives from Meta and Google, including former Google search ads leader Shivakumar Venkataraman, to form an advertising team.
• While OpenAI currently generates $4B annually from subscriptions and API access, its costs for developing and operating AI models exceed $5B yearly.
• Leadership appears divided—CEO Sam Altman has previously called ads a “last resort,” while CFO Sarah Friar recently stated they are evaluating the model but clarified there are “no active plans” yet.
If ads do become part of AI interactions, how would it affect the user experience and the credibility of answers? Would you still trust the AI? Let me know your thoughts! 🤖💭
