As Techcrunch mentioned... OpenAI will start testing targeted ads in ChatGPT for free, and $8/month Go users in the U.S., while higher-tier subscriptions remain ad-free.
Ads will appear at the bottom of conversations, can be dismissed, and won t influence ChatGPT s answers or involve selling user data. The move aims to generate revenue while keeping free access, and may also encourage some users to upgrade to paid tiers.
