Leak bestätigt, dass OpenAI Anzeigen auf ChatGPT für die öffentliche Einführung vorbereitet

OpenAI putting ads in ChatGPT makes sense for revenue, but I see it as annoying. I just want a helpful AI, not a free-for-all ad space.

Hosting ADs means it will have ‚commercial interests‘ influencing BIAS in the output responses.

It will be even more untrustworthy than it is now and erode any potential value it may have had.

I already left for gemini. Im sure google will do it soon. But I’m gonna keep skipping. Nothing about this shit makes me wanna be loyal

It’s inevitable that their business model will need to change. Ads is the only model that works for mass consumer products.

Costs don’t scale with user growth as well as they did in the web era. And there’s nothing like the revenue needed to cover those costs when a few percent of people are paying $20/month.

They might try affiliate links in a shopping experience too, but that’s a low percentage of consumers use cases, and likely won’t cover their costs.

Without ads to fund it, consumer AI products will likely fold. I don’t see any other revenue model working well enough.

And just like with Google-Search the LLM equivalent of „top responses“ will get worthless eventually.

I mean, everyone guessed this will happen sooner or later

How surprising is this.

One practice at Meta is to target ads for weight loss and beauty treatments at adolescent girls who delete an Instagram story within a few minutes of posting it. 

This pushes advertisements at users in a moment of self-consciousness and insecurity assuming the user might have deleted it because they didn’t like the way they looked. 

Now imagine advertisers eyes lighting up at the idea of targeting users who have been sharing the most personal and private feelings and emotions with ChatGPT. 

This is an unbelievable opportunity for advertisers, not so much for literally anyone else. We’ve seen the overreach of ad-driven monetary models like this so many times throughout the history of the web, don’t be fooled into thinking this will be anything different. It’ll start in search, it’ll end up everywhere I’d bet my life on it. There is simply too much money to be made here.

Once money talks, trust walks.

Inevitable. Eventually they’ll get rid of the free version and put ads on the paid version.

This will kill them, would rather use an open chinese model even if its 80% as good as long as its not full of ads

Those saying they will all have ads eventually dont understand the level open space has got and how accessible it is with relatively cheap hardware that you can run locally.

The second I see an ad on this already borderline useless app I will be deleting it. I should probably have already deleted it, but I’m lazy and inattentive.

That was quick. 

ChatGPT is becoming the Nokia of LLMs, they will be watching their userbase crumble as people move out of the platform for better alternatives. Gemini is already on par with them or even better, especially with the release of Nano Banana Pro. For open source models, Qwen is the leading platform, like now I am using Qwen more often for engineering based tasks.

Time to delete ChatGPT and move to another of the dozen apps as a free user

Ooof. The end of AI for public use. Can’t even trust it now.

“… and that’s how Carl’s Jr invented the internet. This answer has been brought to you by Carl’s Jr”

“Hmmm, great question! But before I give you an answer here’s a 5 minute ad for something that you’ll never need and has zero relation to you at all”

I would rather have an agent I can go to and ask about products to cut the down googling times, because there is value in it suggesting things that would work better for me in particular, but if they are showing up in the interface or baked into responses I am out.
