Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out

OpenAI is internally testing advertisements within ChatGPT, marking a significant shift from the platform's ad-free experience to a model similar to Google Search. Code references in ChatGPT's Android beta reveal plans for "search ads" and "search ads carousel" features that will initially appear in search results. With ChatGPT's 800 million weekly users and deep knowledge of user preferences, these personalized ads could potentially disrupt the current web economy by offering more targeted advertising than traditional search engines.
