OpenAI is exploring the integration of advertisements into ChatGPT as a means of increasing revenue. This potential shift could lead to a user experience similar to YouTube, where users are frequently interrupted by ads. Nick Turley, ChatGPT’s head, mentioned in a recent discussion that the company is considering the possibility of ads. They are focused on approaching the integration in a way that is thoughtful and deliberate. The concern is that users might experience a similar level of frustration as they do with ads on YouTube.
Even if some users are unwilling to pay, the company aims to provide high-quality, up-to-date products. OpenAI executives indicated that any decision regarding ads would be carefully considered, recognizing that ChatGPT’s effectiveness in delivering high-quality answers tailored to individual needs is key to its popularity.
