OpenAI Introduces Visual Advertising in Image Generation Outputs
OpenAI has introduced visual display ads that appear alongside generated images in ChatGPT, with ads clearly labeled and not affecting model outputs. The company is expanding ad measurement tools and partnerships to support an ad-supported business model for free and low-cost users.
The new ads will begin to appear later this month in the U.S. only for now, and will feature products and services from an initial test group of advertisers.
