ChatGPT to start showing ads in the US

OpenAI is set to introduce ads in the US version of its AI chatbot, ChatGPT, as a new revenue stream. The ads, which will be visible above or below the chatbot's responses, are intended to be relevant to the user's conversation and will not appear for users under 18 or for sensitive topics. Users will have the option to understand why they are seeing a particular ad. This move comes despite CEO Sam Altman's previous reluctance to include ads, as the company seeks to balance revenue needs with user trust.
