OpenAI plans visual ads during ChatGPT image generation
A US test is planned for later October. Here are the practical questions for users.
- AI’s role
- OpenAI plans to test a new visual advertising format during ChatGPT image generation in the United States later this month, starting with an initial group of advertisers. Its October 5 announcement does not specify which user plans will be eligible.
- Documented result
- OpenAI says the ads will be labeled and kept separate from the image being created, and that advertising will not influence ChatGPT’s answers. These are company commitments; the announcement is not a completed evaluation.
- Important limitation
- Readers should keep those questions separate: who receives information, what the platform uses internally and which choices are available. Bright’s conversation-privacy explainer takes the same practical approach to understanding where a conversation goes and who can access it.
