OpenAI adds ads to the free ChatGPT version

Summary

OpenAI will launch worldwide banner ads in the free version of ChatGPT; this will affect only Free and Go users, while Plus and higher tiers remain ad-free.

Why it matters

This marks a shift from the previously announced ad-free free tier; it creates a new revenue stream for OpenAI and raises privacy concerns about how user data will be used. The move could impact the experience of millions of free users and signals a broader trend toward monetizing AI services with advertisements.

Critical take

While OpenAI promises limited data sharing, the addition of ads to a conversational AI raises questions about subtle tracking and whether future updates will erode these privacy guarantees.
