ChatGPT head Nick Turley said he’s “humble enough not to rule it out categorically,” but hedged that OpenAI would need to “be very thoughtful and tasteful” about how ads could be integrated into ChatGPT.

You can tastefully go fuck yourself.

In fairness, I don't know that any AI service that starts barfing ads can be said to enshittify, since it was already shitty to begin with. I guess the ads are par for the course...

if it’s free, you’re the product.

if it’s paid, you’re still the product because capitalism says so.

    It's very obvious that they are going for the ad market. It's the only way their business model makes any amount of sense, especially now that they're intentionally tanking (commoditizing) the API market under Anthropic's feet.

    I cannot wait for everything from research papers to grade school reports to have product placement based on whoever's paying OpenAI the most.

    This is paying specifically for a company to generate ads for you in particular, directly.
