@harrysandersseo: ChatGPT is reportedly about to start showing paid ads. Developers found features like bizarre content, search ads, and search ad carousels in the Android app. These are all real ad formats. Reddit users were quick to react, with some suggesting this is proof that AI is “burning money” and “running out of cash”. Others joked that they “can’t wait to be gas lit into buying new products”. One popular question sums up the issue: “Why am I paying for GPT if I’m getting ads?”. This shift “changes trust” and “changes the way we perceive brands”. Will you continue to use ChatGPT if you’re paying for it, or will you move back to Google?
