Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
OpenAI has begun testing ads in ChatGPT, starting with users on the free version and the $8/month Go plan. These ads appear as labeled "sponsored" links at the bottom of ChatGPT answers, but OpenAI claims they do not influence the AI's responses. Users on higher-tier plans (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Education) will not see ads, meaning users must pay at least $20/month for the Plus subscription to avoid advertisements.
