Overview
- OpenAI said it will start testing advertisements in the coming weeks for logged‑in adult users on the free tier and the $8‑per‑month Go plan in the United States.
- Sponsored messages will appear below answers, be clearly labeled as ads, and will not influence ChatGPT’s responses, according to the company.
- Ads will use conversation context for personalization by default, with an option to opt out and clear data, and OpenAI says it will not sell or share chat content with advertisers.
- Users under 18 and conversations about sensitive or regulated topics such as health, mental health, and politics will not receive advertising.
- Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise subscriptions remain ad‑free as the Go plan expands to the U.S., a shift analysts say could boost revenue but test user trust and loyalty to the service.
