How high can we stack the garbage on this garbage?

Of course they do.

It is always about making a free version worse to incentivize user to opt for the paid version.
It is never about making a paid version better to incentivize user to opt for the paid version.

Give it some years and they will most likely put ads on the subscription, while also introducing a higher tier with no ads

Weird title – what do they mean „starting with“, not to mention it’s wrong – they already stated it will be for free users and for the new subscription plan called ‚Go‘ that will cost 8$ a month instead of the 20$ for the higher plan.
But Plus and Pro will not have ads, and I doubt they’ll add them there. ARPU isn’t anywhere near $20 a month, but when you have 900m active users and only 5% pay a subscription.. well, it’s not exactly a sound business plan. It is weird that the new subscription is still an ad one though, like what’s the incentive then?
But yeah.. If it’s free, expect to be paying it with something other than money.

Plenty of other ad-free and free-to-use options.

This is going to be a hilarious turn of events for everyone who uses ChatGPT to write essays, blogs emails, etc for them. We know most people don’t even bother to check the garbage it spits out.

Can anyone really complain on free?

I think it is a good news to be honest – I think it will burst a bubble really quick. I am not sure why would you pay money or go see ads if you can just use a different model like gemini (which is still free and adless).

I. Will. Not. Accept. Ads on a service I subscfribe to.
Never have, never will.

The chat bots are as effective as a Google search from 5 years ago.
Now I use DuckDuckGo and sometimes an AI bot when looking for something specific

Soon enough it will be pay to avoid ads, then pay even more to use it properly. Classic.

Free users getting ads makes sense. The real question is whether paid users stay truly ad-free and unaffected.

Stop using shitty ChatGPT

If you have an iPhone, turn on Apple Intelligence and then just tell Siri “Siri, ask ChatGPT *your prompt*”
I’m betting that will get around any ads injected into the free user tier.

Are people even using AI anymore compared to, say, 2 years ago? I know I’m not.

Some exec was getting grilled in a meeting:
„You told us AI was going to make us rich (er)! This is a clusterfuck!“
„I’ve got it! AD REVENUE!“
„Brilliant! 10 million dollar bonus!“
„Also lay off 25% of our workforce“

Will we need to run it through a second AI to strip out the ads from my homework?

subscription + ads is our generation’s „let them eat cake“. its a daily demonstration of how ignorant and greedy the ruling class is becoming

I’ve been using Chatgpt a lot lately. The moment I see the first ad I’m done with it forever.

AI really accelerated enshittification of everything. Even the free tier > ads > soon to be introduce ads to paid tier anyway pipeline.

If the ads are served from through http/https, something out there will block their stupid ads, be that Pihole or something just as creative, fuck forced ads !
