ChatGPT will start showing ads in 26 new countries
OpenAI is expanding ads in ChatGPT to 26 new countries, and more than 100,000 advertisers have already used the platform.
What happened
OpenAI, the company that created the ChatGPT chatbot, is expanding advertising in the service to 26 more countries. This was reported in a Google News story that links to OpenAI.
According to the company, more than 100,000 advertisers have already used advertising in ChatGPT. This means businesses are already finding a way to show their offers to people who use the service.
What this means for everyday people
Advertising in ChatGPT means that ad messages may appear among the chatbot's answers or next to them. Other popular services, such as search engines and social networks, also work this way, showing ads to make money.
For users, the key question is how clearly the ads will be labeled and whether they will affect the quality of the answers. The news story we are referring to does not spell out these details, so it is worth following OpenAI's official announcements.
